§ 26. Lieutenant-Commander Hutchisonasked the Secretary of State for War whether he can state the number of chaplains belonging to the Church of Scotland who are at present serving in the Royal Army Chaplains' Department.
§ Sir J. GriggI regret that it is not in the public interest to give figures of strengths of any part of the Army.
§ Lieutenant-Commander HutchisonSurely there can be nothing wrong in giving statistics concerning a non-combatant branch?
§ Sir J. GriggNon-combatant branches are very closely allied with combatant branches and, anyhow, there is a formula relating the strength of chaplains to the strength of the Army.
