HC Deb 04 August 1874 vol 221 c1258
MR. HOLT

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether the Letters of Business issued to Convocation, authorizing that body to consider and report on the Fourth Report of the Ritual Commission, are to be understood to authorize them to make suggestions as to changes in the Rubrics not recommended by the Commissioners?

MR. DISRAELI

Mr. Speaker—The Letters of Business issued to Convocation, my hon. Friend will observe, are legal documents. They now lie on the Table. It would be, I think, an act of presumption on my part to offer an interpretation of legal documents. The Letters of Business have been adopted by the present and by the late Government, and I conclude that they are in their tenour appropriate and clear.
