§ Mr. Lyonsasked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the fact that all officers of the Royal Armoured Corps have to purchase canvas overalls and wear them over their uniform in armoured fighting vehicles, thus rendering themselves indistinguishable from other ranks, he is prepared to make the purchase and wearing of battle dress by these officers optional?
§ Mr. StanleyOveralls are worn only on occasions when it is necessary to protect clothing. Officers require battle dress for other occasions when overalls are not necessary.
