So would the Minister like to explain how the Chapel came to be under threat in the first place? It should never have been an option full stop! With words from the Minister on her Twitter feed stating "We are working on how to keep it open" implies that there is a current plan to close it.
It is good to see that the Department now recognises the unique history behind this special Chapel - which Churchill called a shrine to the Few - but it is a shame it took an e-petition and embarassing headlines to achieve it.
Furthermore, why should a newspaper check with the Minister before running a story? It would not be a 'free press' then would it?
In the same way as Jo Johnson MP stated - I too am glad to hear that the MOD plans to save the Chapel from closure and see its continued funding.
