§ *MR. H. D. GREENEI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies (1) whether the adoption of the title of Archbishop by any Bishop of the Church if England in the Colonies has been sanctioned by Her Majesty; (2) whether without Her Majesty's express permission to assume such style, the Colonial Office or officers would recognise such adoption and use it in official communications; and (3) whether the Lambeth Conference of Bishops has any authority in the matter?
MR. CHAMBERLAINThere is no information upon the subject in my department. I should be prepared as a matter of courtesy, independently of the question of right, to address prelates from any of the Colonies by the title by which they are officially known in the colony. I am unable to answer the third Question.
