asked the Minister for Defence whether he will consider clothing some units of the Army in kilts.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Army Uniform.
The reply is in the negative. The adoption of the kilt for members of the pipers' band is under consideration.
May I ask the Minister if he has given consideration to the amount of additional popularity acquired by Scottish Highland regiments in consequence of their kilts and whether there is any sound reason for denying to our Army that element of picturesqueness?
I think the Deputy will be in kilts then.
What about the Blue Shirts wearing them?
