HC Deb 10 March 1937 vol 321 c1172W
Marquess of Clydesdale

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether, in view of the fact that, with the exception of gloves, the uniform and equipment authorised for the use of officers on home service by the dress regulations of the Royal Air Force is entirely blue and black, he will consider substituting black gloves for the brown gloves at present called for?

Sir P. Sassoon

I am advised that brown gloves are felt to be preferable to black on grounds both of appearance and general convenience of supply.
