§ Mr. Sorensenasked the Secretary of State for War whether he has any information respecting the numbers of militiamen who have declared themselves, respectively, as Anglicans, Free Churchmen, Roman Catholics, Jews, and Agnostics; how many requests he has had from Members of this House, and from other sources, that attendance at religious worship should be optional; what facilities have been given and if any record is 1853W kept of any groups of militiamen organised for ethical and educational purposes; and whether any arrangements have been made or will be made with educational bodies for the provision of non-technical educational facilities?
§ Sir V. WarrenderAs regards the first three parts of the question, I regret that no records have been compiled. As regards the last part, the arrangements for the education of militiamen, which were nearing completion when the emergency arose, have necessarily been held in abeyance.
