HC Deb 16 January 1913 vol 46 c2281W
Mr. CARR-GOMM

asked the number and estimated cost of the successive alterations in the uniform of officers in the different branches of the service since the Boer War?

Colonel SEELY

No general changes of importance in officers' uniforms have been introduced since the close of the South African war. It is not practicable to estimate the cost of such minor changes as have been introduced.

Mr. CARR-GOMM

asked what is the estimated cost of the recent alteration in the khaki jacket for officers?

Colonel SEELY

Jackets, with upright collars, can be continued in use until worn out. Jackets, with turned-down collars, which can be worn in future, are estimated to be slightly cheaper.
