§ MR. GILHOOLY (Cork, Co., W.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty if he will state on whose recommendation Roman Catholic chaplains to the Navy are appointed; and whether any Roman Catholic ecclesiastics are consulted as to the appointments and remuneration of Roman Catholic chaplains to the Navy.
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. ARNOLD-FORSTER,) Belfast, W.The appointments of Roman Catholic chaplains are made on the recommendation of the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster. Any recommendations made by the Cardinal on the subject of their remuneration also receive full consideration.
§ CAPTAIN DONELAN (Cork Co., E.)Are Irish ecclesiastics consulted at all in this matter?
§ MR. ARNOLD-FORSTERCardinal Vaughan is the only one consulted.
§ MR. GILHOOLYBut are not the appointments mainly made on the recommendation of a Church of England clergyman—the chaplain of the Fleet?
