Army: Uniforms
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what preparations his Department has made for (a) upcoming changes in EU legislation regarding the chemical PFOA and (b) the technical effect of that legislation on the performance of camouflage print on the Army's multi-terrain pattern uniforms and ensemble.
- Answer
-
The upcoming change to EU legislation on the use of Perfluorooctanoic acid is a matter for the contractor, who has to meet the specifications set by the Ministry of Defence. We do not expect the change in EU legislation to adversely affect the production or performance of combat clothing used by the UK's Armed Forces.
