HC Deb 26 April 1875 vol 223 c1637
SIR WTLFRID LAWSON

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, Whether the crews of the two ships about to sail on the Arctic Expedition are not likely to be composed largely of Presbyterians; and, if so, whether it would not be expedient, instead of appointing two Episcopalian Chaplains, to appoint one Episcopalian and one Presbyterian?

MR. HUNT

Sir, I have no reason to suppose the crews will be composed largely of Presbyterians; I have not the slightest idea how the crews will be composed as regards religious opinions; but I have already appointed two Episcopalian Chaplains to the Expedition.
