§ Sir J. RANDLESasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether in the case of Jewish soldiers anything has been done to meet their religious scruples in regard to food; and whether, so far as practicable, he will see that proper arrangements are made to supply these men with kosher food to which they are accustomed?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONGeneral officers commanding troops at home have been authorised to issue a money allowance in lieu of rations to Jewish soldiers in connection with the Jewish festival, whenever this course was considered advisable, and this has gone a long way to meet the requirements of the Jewish religion. Arrangements to supply each Jewish soldier with kosher food as part of the Army rations are not practicable.
