HC Deb 03 August 1882 vol 273 c608
MR. MOORE

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office, What steps have been taken to obtain the services of Roman Catholic Chaplains for the troops serving in Egypt?

SIR ARTHUR HAYTER

, in reply, said, he could assure the House that the spiritual interests of the Roman Catholic soldiers who were to serve in Egypt would not be lost right of. No less than five Roman Catholic chaplains were going to the East, and they would be distributed in such a manner as should be most expedient.

SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL

said, he hoped that similar regard would be shown to Presbyterians.

SIR ARTHUR HAYTER

said, that two Presbyterian ministers would accompany the Forces.
