Explanatory Note.

(This Nor is not part of the regulations, bur is intended to indicate their general purport).

The Sailors Home and Missions to Seamen and the Apostleship of the Sea are to combine so as to provide a unified port chaplaincy for seafarers.

This arrangement will involve the use of the chapel in the Mariners* Club for Roman Catholic Church services as well as Church of England services and the new regulation 15 will enable this to be done.
