HC Deb 03 July 1865 vol 180 c1044
MR. HENRY SEYMOUR

said, as Chairman of the Committee upon that Ecclesiastical Commission of 1863, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether the Government intend to pay any attention to the Report of that Commission, and its charges of land jobbing and other delinquencies?

SIR GEORGE GREY

said, in reply, that the attention of the Government had been called to the Report of the Committee on the subject of the Ecclesiastical Commission, and he had called on the Commissioners, soon after the Report was presented, for an explanation of certain matters alluded to in that Report. He was under the impression that their reply had been laid on the table, but, if not, it should be, A Bill had been prepared, the object of which was to centre the responsibility in the Estates' Committee, but that Bill required a good deal of consideration, and during the recess he hoped to complete its details.
