Armed Forces: Uniforms

Volume 467: debated on Monday 12 November 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many pairs of cold weather boots will be issued to the next roulement of British service personnel in Afghanistan. (162558)

The next roulement of British forces in Afghanistan is due to take place in March/April 2008. Those forces can expect to face hot summer conditions rather than winter weather and we do not therefore expect them to require cold weather boots.
