HC Deb 08 May 1894 vol 24 c589
MR. D. THOMAS (Methyr Tydfil)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will grant the Return, standing on the Paper this day, relating to the Revenues of the Welsh Church?

MR. ASQUITH

I have been in communication with the Ecclesiastical Commissioners on the subject of this Return, but I understand that there will be no meeting of the Commissioners until the 10th of this month, when they will consider the practicability of granting this Return. Perhaps my hon. Friend would put this question to me again after the Whitsuntide holidays.

MR. DARLING (Deptford)

Are we to understand that the Welsh Church includes the English Church in the English County of Monmouthshire?

MR. ASQUITH

I must refer the hon. Member to the speech I made in introducing the Bill.
