HC Deb 08 May 1919 vol 115 cc1134-5W
Lieutenant-Colonel Sir J. HOPE

asked the Secretary of State for War whether Highland regiments are to be represented on the War Office Committee appointed to consider the after-war uniforms of the British Army; and whether he will arrange for the representation of Scottish Lowland regiments on this Committee?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the written reply given yesterday to a question put down by my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for the Clackmannan and Eastern Division of Stirling and Clackmannan, in which the composition of the Committee was set out. The Committee is empowered to take evidence, and representative officers of Scottish regiments, in common with others, will be given an opportunity of expressing their views so that the claims of all regiments will be thoroughly considered.
