Commander Noble
asked the Minister of Defence how a senior officer when wearing civilian clothes, should acknowledge salutes at a march-past and on other occasions.
The Minister of Defence
(Mr. Shinwell)
If such an occasion arose, it would be customary for the officer to remove his hat and stand to attention.
Commander Noble
In case there should be any misunderstanding in this matter, would the Minister see that his answer is given adequate publicity?
Mr. Shinwell
If I do not give it publicity, I am certain that there are hon. Members on the other side who will.
