asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that his Department, has prohibited the exhibition on the notice boards of the Department posters advertising the "New Civilian" and "Red Tape," two Civil Service staff journals, and that his Department has sanctioned the exhibition of posters advertising the "Times" newspaper; and whether he will remove the ban on the posters of staff journals and grant to other daily newspapers facilities similar to those accorded the "Times"?

whether any change in the allocation to churches of senior appointments is contemplated?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

The allocation of the establishment of chaplains to the forces of the denominations in question and the number of men belonging to such denominations, according to the figures for 1st October, 1925, which are the latest available, are as shown in the following table:

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

A notice was placed on the notice boards of the War Office advertising the first issue of the "New Civilian." On account of lack of space, it is impossible to advertise every issue of each of the numerous Civil Service papers. A notice has been displayed advertising an offer by the "Times" to supply that newspaper to Civil Servants at a reduced price. This notice was put up at the request of the staff side of the War Office Whitley Council.
