HC Deb 14 March 1904 vol 131 cc970-1
MR. ALFRED DAVIES (Carmarthen Boroughs)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty if he will state how much of the £11,316 3s., granted by the Admiralty to Nonconformist bodies during the last five years, was received by the Baptist, Congregational, Presbyterian, and Wesleyan communities respectively.

MR. PRETYMAN

The sum in question was made up as follows:— Wesleyans, £7,170 9s. 4d.; Presbyterians, £3,751 11s. 2d.; Baptists and Congre-gationalists, £394 2s. 6d. The grants to the two latter bodies cannot be differentiated, as they act in unison and have; appointed a joint committee to confer with the Admiralty in respect of these grants.
