HC Deb 02 May 1902 vol 107 c560
MR. MARKHAM

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that the Bishop of Southwell has given his sanction to the vicar of Buxton to practice reservation and the ceremonial use of incense in St. Anne's Church, Buxton, and that this sanction was given without the knowledge or wish of any member of the congregation or of the churchwardens, and whether he proposes to take any action in this matter.

* THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. RITCHIE,) Croydon

I have no knowledge of the facts of the case referred to, nor have I any jurisdiction in the matter.

MR. MARKHAM

To what Minister must I address the Question?

* MR. RITCHIE

I do not know that any Department has to do with this matter.
