HC Deb 08 August 1916 vol 85 c868
70. Mr. LUNDON

asked who acts as substitute as regards Press censorship for Lord Decies in his absence?

Mr. FORSTER

If Lord Decies should happen to be absent from his post, it would be within the province of the Commander-in-Chief to detail an officer of his staff to perform the duties.

Mr. BYRNE

Is the War Office aware of the fact that Lord Decies is one of the senior stewards of the Irish Racing Association and attends as steward at race meetings in Great Britain and Ireland; and whether he has the permission of the War Office to do this?

Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKER

The hon. Member is asking a supplementary question arising out of part of the question which Mr. Speaker disallowed.
