asked the Under-Secretary of State for War what is the dress of the 7/9th Battalion Royal Scots; and whether his attention has been called to the pledge given by his predecessor on the 12th August, 1921, that the respective half battalions of the amalgamated battalion would be allowed to retain any distinctive uniform they may have worn.

I am inquiring into the facts of this case, and will communicate further with the hon. Member. I am aware of the pledge to which he refers.
