HC Deb 17 June 1915 vol 72 cc805-6W
Mr. KING

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the contract for the supply of Bibles to men and boys in the naval service is made by the Admiralty or by His Majesty's Stationery Office?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The Bibles issued to men and boys in the naval Service are supplied on the requisition of the establishments concerned at the expense of the Stationery Office, which makes the necessary arrangements with the publishers. My hon. Friend will remember that, as I indicated in my reply on 19th May, the official supply is being largely supplemented from other sources.

Mr. KING

asked whether the contract for the supply of Bibles to soldiers is made by the Army Council or by His Majesty's Stationery Office?

Mr. TENNANT

The contract for the supply of Bibles for the Army is made by His Majesty's Stationery Office.
