HC Deb 20 July 1943 vol 391 c701W
Mr. Hewlett

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the fact that the: bulk of existing operations are fought in simple battle-dress, he will consider whether the heavy outlay on officers' dress is essential?

Sir J. Grigg

This question has been carefully examined but it is not considered that a change in the present arrangements is desirable.
