§ MR. MONKasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he can inform the House when the Final Report of the Cathedral Commission will be presented to Her Majesty?
§ MR. COURTNEYIn the absence of my right hon. and learned Friend the Home Secretary, I have to remind my hon. Friend the Member for Gloucester that, by the terms of its appointment, the Cathedral Commission is bound to present separate Reports to Her Majesty on the case of each cathedral. Eight of these Reports are now nearly completed, and are expected to be presented before the end of the year, and there will be no avoidable delay in the completion of the remainder. When all have been finished the Commission will probably issue a final Report embracing matters which could not be so conveniently dealt with in the separate Reports.
