HC Deb 07 April 1856 vol 141 c565
CAPTAIN STUART

begged to ask the Under Secretary for War whether the attention of the War Office had been called to the fact of there having been large reviews of the British Army in the Crimea on Sundays, by which the troops had been prevented from attending divine worship and enjoying a day's rest?

MR. FREDERICK PEEL

said, that reviews of troops in the Crimea appeared to have been held on two Sundays this year, once in February and once in March; but he was not aware of the reasons which induced General Codrington to order them on the Sundays. Of course the holding of parades on Sundays generally would not meet with encouragement from the Government.
