§ Sir W. Everardasked the Secretary of State for War why the Army Council proposes to compel all officers in mechanised cavalry and yeomanry regiments to wear berets in view of the fact that crash helmets and not berets are worn in tanks; and whether, as these officers have already had to buy three different types of headdress, he will ensure that none of them are compelled to purchase berets until their existing head-dresses are worn out?
§ Captain MargessonNo officer in a mechanised cavalry or yeomanry regiment will be compelled to purchase a beret until his existing type of head-dress requires replacement.
