MR. CARVELL WILLIAMS (Notts, Mansfield)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board, whether, in conformity with the promise made last Session, the Registrar General has been asked to restore the facilities, including the remission of fees, for many years granted to Nonconformists, of consulting, for literary and historical purposes, the Nonconformist Registers of Baptisms, which, in compliance with official requests, were deposited at Somerset House for safe custody and ease of access; and what has been the result of any representations on the subject which have been made to the Registrar General?
THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. G. J. SHAW LEFEVRE,) Bradford, CentralI have communicated with the Registrar General, and am glad to say that he has made arrangements which I think will be satisfactory to my hon. Friend.
