§ Sir JOHN JARDINEasked the Under secretary of State for War, with reference to the recently opened Church of England Garrison Church at Tidworth, whether it has been built out of public funds; and whether it is to be consecrated or kept open for the holding of services according to the rites of the Church of Scotland, the United Free Church of Scotland, and other Presbyterian churches, at times when there are Presbyterian officers and soldiers in the garrison?
§ Colonel SEELYThis church was partly built from moneys from Army Votes, amounting to £1,975. The total cost was £5,000, the difference being provided by local subscription. The church will not be consecrated, and is in the holding of the Secretary of State for War. The Presbyterians have already the sole use of a building at Tidworth, the cost of which was met from Army funds.
