§ MR. DILLWYNasked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether the consent of the Crown has been given to an Ordinance constituting Church bodies for the Anglican and Roman Catholic communities at Gibraltar, with the object of vesting in such bodies annual grants of money?
§ MR. J. LOWTHERAn Ordinance, Sir, has been drawn up with the object of continuing to the Church of England and Roman Catholic Church Bodies at Gibraltar, in the form of an annual fixed payment, the sums hitherto paid to individual clergymen and priests. This Ordinance has not, as yet, I believe, been enacted by the local Government, and has therefore not received the Royal Assent.
