§ Mr. D. SOMERVILLEasked the Home Secretary whether he will consider the introduction of legislation to prevent the wearing in this country of uniform, especially of a military design, by unofficial organisations of a political character?
§ Mr. LLOYDThe Uniforms Act, 1894, makes it unlawful for any person not serving in His Majesty's military forces to wear without His Majesty's permission the uniform of any of those forces or any dress having the appearance or bearing any of the regimental or other distinctive marks of any such uniform. My hon. Friend will appreciate that his suggestion would raise very difficult questions of definition, and, while the position will continue to be carefully watched, my right hon. Friend cannot undertake in present circumstances to introduce legislation on this subject.
