§ 8. Mr. John Dugdaleasked the Secretary of State for War, to what extent talks on religion are now being given to troops by officers other than the chaplain of their respective denominations?
§ Sir J. GriggTo the extent suggested in the notes for instructors contained in "The British Way and Purpose" No. 12, of which there is a copy in the Library of this House. It completes the series of talks on "the Responsible Citizen."
§ Mr. DugdaleIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that these talks have been in many cases distasteful both to the troops and to the officers who have had to give them?
§ Sir J. GriggI do not accept that in the slightest degree. In fact, the testimony is the exact reverse.
