§ Mr. Caryasked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the fact that a British warm coat was proved during the Great War to be of such a comfortable and usable form of clothing for general service purposes, all commissioned ranks will be permitted to wear a British warm coat as an alternative to the conventional military greatcoat?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaIt has been decided, after exhaustive trials, that a long greatcoat is most suitable for all ranks, but officers are permitted to wear a British warm coat when not on parade with troops.
