asked the Secretary of State for War whether the Brigade of Guards, when doing guard duties in London, can wear full dress.

No decision has yet been made regarding the future dress of the Brigade of Guards.

In view of the appreciation shown by the people of London and others on the recent occasion when the Life Guards were turned out in full dress for the Royal Wedding, would not my right hon. Friend give an early decision on this matter?

That required a special effort for a special occasion, and I cannot promise to repeat it in the near future.

Would my right hon. Friend ask the Guards whether they want to wear full dress?

There was some difficulty about the wearing of full dress, but we overcame the difficulty.

What has happened to the full dress uniforms which were put into store in 1939?

There is a lot of misunderstanding about the full dress uniforms put into store between 1939 and the end of the war. A lot of things happened to those uniforms.
