HC Deb 30 July 1923 vol 167 c1057W
Sir J. LEIGH

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War what would be the estimated total cost of providing full-dress uniform for all the units of the Regular Army; and whether members of the Army Council have suggested that this should be done in order to encourage recruiting?

Mr. GWYNNE

The total cost of provision, including Regular troops in India, would be about £1,400,000. The subject has not escaped the attention of the Army Council.
