HC Deb 11 March 1930 vol 236 c1133W
Mr. SORENSEN

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will allow men serving in the Army to absent themselves from church parade if they profess to hold no religious convictions?

Mr. SHAW

Every recruit on enlistment is required to declare his religious denomination, and it is laid down in King's Regulations that no soldier shall be obliged to attend the service of any religious body but his own.
