§ MR. LLOYD-GEORGE (Carnarvon, &c.)I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether the Privy Council will withhold its assent to the Order of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners creating a new benefice in Colwyn Bay, Denbighshire, until the Correspondence and Minute of Proceeding relating thereto have been laid before this House?
§ MR. ACLANDAs was stated in the House on the 16th February last by my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary, the only question considered by the Privy Council before ratifying a scheme drawn up by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners is whether the scheme contains nothing contrary to law, and whether it is within the legal powers of the Commissioners. If both these questions are answered in the affirmative the scheme is passed. This appears to have been the uniform practice of the Privy Council.
