Dear Mr Williams,
Thank you for your email dated 2 November 2015 where you requested the below
information;
Dear Air Cadet Organisation,
Under the Freedom of Information Act, I wish to know the following information.
What shoe polish is not allowed to be used in the ACO?
Please give reasons if they are not allowed. Please break it down on a product
by product basis showing only disallowed products but also including the below
listed products:
Morello Futura 2000©
Kiwi Parade Gloss©
Is the use of a product, such as Morello Futura 2000© allowed to be
discriminated upon with regard to uniform inspection and dril competitions
compared with a more widely accepted approach of tinned polish, e.g. Kiwi
Parade Gloss©?
Is personal preference allowed with regard to what polish a member of the ACO
may use?
Please excuse all copyrights used in the request as they are purley for reference.
Other shoe polishes are available.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Williams
