§ 25. Mr. HINDSasked the Secretary of State for War whether an inter-denominational board on chaplaincies has been formed; if so, who are the persons constituting it; what are its functions; and how many meetings of the board have been held?
§ Mr. FORSTERThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. A list of members of the Committee was published on the 20th instant, but I will send my hon. Friend a copy of it. The Committee consists of representatives of each denomination, and is intended to remove the risk of inequalities of treatment owing to the different authorities 1396 not being in touch with one another. By means of the Committee each authority will become informed as to the needs of the other denominations in matters of common interest) to all. Meetings are held once a month, and so far four have been held.
