HC Deb 11 July 1950 vol 477 c83W
10. Mr. Renton

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that battle-dress is frequently too hot and uncomfortable to wear in the United Kingdom during the summer months; and whether he will take steps to ensure that troops are not required to wear battle-dress blouses unnecessarily in warm weather in this country.

Mr. Strachey

During the summer months shirt-sleeve order may normally be worn at the discretion of officers commanding units.
