HC Deb 03 June 1867 vol 187 c1489
MR. DARBY GRIFFITH

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether, since the appointment of names which are avowedly identified with the encouragement of Ritualistic practices upon the Commission to inquire into the conduct of Church Services would tend to discredit the moral force of its decisions in the mind of the public, it would not be desirable, in order to secure the greatest possible confidence in the constitution of that Commission, to communicate the names intended to compose it to Parliament previous to their final appointment?

MR. GATHORNE HARDY

, in reply, said, it appeared to him that it would not conduce to the benefit of the public in any way that the names of the Commissioners appointed to advise Her Majesty should be laid on the table of the House for discussion; and therefore it was not intended in this case to produce them.
