HC Deb 17 January 2000 vol 342 cc283-4W
Mr. Key

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what criteria he will use in reaching a decision to revise guidelines on the wearing of service uniforms in public. [104800]

Mr. Spellar

We have no immediate plans to revise the guidelines on the wearing of service uniforms in public although they are kept under review. The current guidelines have been framed to give local commanders the flexibility to interpret the rules to cater for any specific considerations in their immediate area.
