§ SIR BARRING-TON SIMEON (Southampton)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War if he will state on what footing acting chaplains to the Volunteer forces stand, and whether they can earn a grant for their corps; and, if so, why acting chaplains attending camp this year for fifteen days were specially excluded from drawing their proper pay.
§ *MR. WYNDHAMThe acting chaplain earns the capitation grant for his corps like any other Volunteer. His presence in camp, except for Sunday duty, is, however, not considered necessary.
