Captain CRAIGasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware of an abuse steadily creeping into the Naval Service of nuns and other ladies dressed in the garb of the Roman Catholic Church collecting money as the sailors go round the pay-table on board His Majesty's ships when moored at home and abroad; and whether, in view of this practice being objectionable to a section of the Service, he will issue instructions that no such collections be permitted at pay-time in the Navy?
§ Mr. McKENNAI am not aware of the practice referred to, but if the hon. and gallant Member knows of any cases of which he will give me particulars I will make inquiries.
