HC Deb 07 May 1868 vol 191 c1886
MR. VERNER

Sir, I have to apologise to the right hon. Gentleman the Member for South Lancashire for asking him a Question, of which I have not had an opportunity of giving him Notice; but I should like to know, Whether his attention has been directed to the report of the speeches made by certain right rev. Prelates appointed by the Government of which the right hon. Gentleman was a distinguished Member, which speeches were made yesterday at St. James's Hall; and, if so, whether, after the opinions they have expressed, he intends to press on his measures for the destruction of the Irish branch of the United Church of England and Ireland?

MR. GLADSTONE

made no reply.
