HC Deb 23 June 1926 vol 197 cc358-9
30. Mr. LANSBURY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the cost of providing Army chaplains for the military stations in India is to be charged to the Government of India; and, if so, what is the estimated increase in military expenditure on that account?

Earl WINTERTON

The cost of religious ministrations for the British garrison in India has always been a charge on Indian revenues. There is no expectation of any increase.
