King's Guards: Uniforms
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the suitability of the synthetic material used for busby caps in the Royal Horse Artillery for the King's Guard bearskins.
- Answer
-
The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery soldiers' busby is considerably smaller and lighter than the King's Guards ceremonial bearskin cap, worn much less frequently and for shorter periods of time. For these reasons, the synthetic material used for the soldiers' busby does not meet the faux fur replacement criteria for the bearskin caps and is considered an unsuitable alternative.
