HC Deb 02 June 1892 vol 5 c462
MR. RADCLIFFE COOKE(for Colonel SANDYS,) Lancashire, S.W., Bootle

I beg to ask the Attorney General whether the legal advisers of Her Majesty's Government have any intention of recommending the alteration of the present form of the Royal licence for prescribing the text of a new canon for the Church of England, with a view of getting rid of the need for obtaining from the Crown a ratification for such a canon after its adoption by Convocation, as has been suggested by the English Church Union?

SIR RICHARD WEBSTER

In reply to my hon. and learned Friend for my hon. and gallant Friend, I have to say that, so far as I am aware, there is no ground for the suggestion that the legal advisers of Her Majesty's Government have any intention of making any recommendation of the kind suggested.
