§ MR. DALY (Monaghan, S.)I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he is aware that, though Roman Catholic chaplains have distinguished themselves during the war in South Africa by their conduct in attending to the sick and wounded on the field of battle, no mention of this fact is made in the despatches from the seat of war, and if he can state the reason of this omission.
LORD STANLEYOne Roman Catholic chaplain has already been mentioned and rewarded, and further names have been received since the publication of the last honours and are under consideration.
LORD STANLEYI cannot say without notice, but probably it was promotion from one grade to another. I cannot say definitely, however.
