Enamel Poppy regulations

[superiorSqnCadet]

I’ve received many different interpretations of the rules surrounding the wear of enamel poppies on uniform, some say only on MTP dress and others say allowed on MTP and working blue dress but not on jumpers…

What are the rules surrounding when enamel poppies may be worn (i.e. in which dress)?

Thank you!
