§ MR. FOLJAMBEsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether it is true that the Archbishop of York has declined to serve on the Royal Commission on the ground that the Church of England, as distinct from the Ritualists, is not fairly represented on the Commission?
§ MR GATHORNE HARDYI regret, Sir, to state that the Archbishop of York has declined to serve, but he has never assigned any such reason to me, or to anybody else, as far as I know. I need not say that if he had done so, it would have been received by the Government with the most respectful attention, and with a desire to remove any such objection.
