HC Deb 26 November 1914 vol 68 c1315
82. Mr. SHIRLEY BENN

asked what provision is being made in the various hospitals throughout the United Kingdom for giving religious ministrations to wounded soldiers who have returned from the front?

Mr. TENNANT

At the larger and more important hospitals chaplains are appointed to give their whole time. At the other hospitals formed during the present emergency the ministrations are given by the local clergy of the various communions, who are appointed by the military authorities as may be necessary.

Mr. SHIRLEY BENN

Are any provisions being made for religious services being held in the wards?

Mr. TENNANT

I must ask for notice of that question.
