§ Mr. FORDasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, with a view to removing a distinct deterrent to recruiting and to encourage the esprit de corps of the Highland regiments, and to prevent the spectacle of guards at the Royal Palace of Holyrood House being 2608W sent on duty improperly dressed, the War Office is prepared at an early date to make a full issue of sporrans, hose-tops, gaiters, and Glengarry bonnets, the latter to replace the recent and unsightly innovation of Balmoral bonnets?
Lieut.-Colonel GUINNESSThe issue of these articles depends on the re-introduction of full dress, and I cannot, therefore, authorise such an issue at present. The Glengarry in any ease will not be issued. It is to be replaced by a Highland flat bonnet.
