HC Deb 17 March 1913 vol 50 c725W
Sir HENRY KIMBER

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether it is intended that at the International Eucharisic (Roman Catholic) Congress in Malta, which is to take place from 24th to 27th April, a British guard, naval or military, should line the route in honour of the same; is he aware that, as part of the proceedings, a grand procession is arranged for Sunday evening, 27th April, at which the Host may be carried; and, if so, will British soldiers or sailors be called upon or expected to salute it?

Colonel SEELY

I have no information regarding the first and second part of the question. As regards the last part of the question, the answer is in the negative.
