	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2021 answer text <p>Our analysis of recent tests conducted on a fake fur fabric commissioned by PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), showed it met one of the five requirements to be considered as a viable alternative for ceremonial caps. Whilst it met the basic standard for water absorption, it showed unacceptable rates of water shedding and performed poorly on the visual assessment. As the man-made fur sadly didn't meet the standards required for a ceremonial cap which is worn throughout the year and in all weathers, the Ministry of Defence has no plans to take this man-made fabric forward.</p> answering member constituency Horsham answering member printed Jeremy Quin question first answered 08/12/2021 12:42:22 answering member 4507 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Quin
