§ MR. F. S. POWELLsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether it is the intention of Government to introduce during the present Session a Bill for the Amendment of Clergy Discipline; and, if not, whether the subject is to be taken into consideration by the Government with a view to the introduction of a measure at an early date in the next Session?
§ SIR GEORGE GREYsaid, in reply, that it was not his intention to introduce any Bill for that purpose this Session. A Bill had already been prepared upon the subject, but it would require careful consideration and revision; and he anticipated that the measure would be submitted to Parliament in an improved shape in the course of next Session.
