Colonel A. Evansasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is yet in a position to state whether the present grant of £10 to cover the purchase of an officer's tropical outfit is to be increased; and, if so, by how much?
§ Mr. SandysOfficers other than pre-war regular officers whose outfit allowance has been based on the provision of two suits of service dress will receive an additional £5 on proceeding for the first time on or after 30th May, 1941, to a station where drill is worn. Other officers whose outfit allowance has been based on the provision of one suit of service dress and one suit of battle dress will, however, on so proceeding continue to receive the £10 supplement previously issued to such officers.
