HC Deb 30 August 1886 vol 308 c787
MR. SHIRLEY (Yorkshire, W.R., Doncaster)

asked Mr. Attorney General, Whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce a Bill for the purpose of dispensing with the presence of the registrar at marriages in Nonconformist Chapels; and, if not, whether he intends to reintroduce his Bill of the last Parliament, or to take any effective steps to secure the settlement of the question in a manner satisfactory to the Nonconformists of the Country?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir RICHARD WEBSTER) (Isle of Wight)

Her Majesty's Government hope to be able to introduce, early next Session, a Bill to deal with the question of the attendance of Registrars of Marriages in Nonconformist chapels.
