HC Deb 16 March 1905 vol 143 cc188-9
SIR ERNEST FLOWER (Bradford, W.)

I beg to ask the Civil Lord of the Admiralty if it is possible to arrange that the chapel at Greenwich Hospital shall be open to the public on Saturday afternoons at a later hour than 3p.m., in order to enable a larger number of people to enjoy an opportunity of visiting the interior.

THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. ARTHUR LEE, Hampshire, Fareham)

The chapel at Greenwich Hospital is closed on Saturdays at 3 p.m. in order that the men whose duty it is to prepare it for the services on the following day may be enabled, on the completion of this work, to take the few hours leave to which they are entitled. In these circumstances I regret that I am unable to arrange for the chapel to be kept open beyond that hour.
