§ 86. Lieut.-Colonel Kingsmillasked the Secretary of State for War when it is intended that No. I dress will be issued to officers who have bought mess dress and/or blue patrol uniform; and whether such officers will be expected to pay for No. 1 dress.
§ Mr. ShinwellNo decision has been taken regarding the time or conditions of introduction of No. I Dress for the Army.
§ 87. Major Beamishasked the Secretary of State for War if he will publish a list of the occasions on which permission has been given for full dress uniform to be worn other than by individuals since it became obsolete in 1918; and the occasions on which such permission has been refused.
§ Mr. ShinwellThis information, if indeed it is available at all, could not be obtained without a great deal of research, which I do not consider would be justifiable.
§ 89. Colonel Stoddart-Scottasked the Secretary of State for War what is the recognised full-dress uniform for the Army, other than the Household Troops; and on what occasions such dress may be worn.
§ Mr. ShinwellExcept for the Household Troops, and the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery, there is now no recognised full dress uniform for the Army. No. 1 Dress, when introduced, will be used for those ceremonial occasions for which full dress was worn in the past.
