§ MR. KNATCHBULL-HUGESSENI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, should the English Church in Wales Disestablishment Bill become law, any religious services other than those of the Church of England will be permitted in the Welsh cathedrals?
§ MR. ASQUITHThe property in the cathedrals will be vested in the Commissioners, upon whom will be cast the burden of maintaining them out of the funds in their hands. But there is no intention to interfere with the use of the cathedrals, and so long as the Church body so desires they will continue to be applied to their present purpose, and to no other.
§ MR. W. JOHNSTONCan the right hon. Gentleman say when he expects this Bill to become law?
