MR. BRYNMOR JONES (Swansea District)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he can now advise the variation of the terms of reference to the Royal Commission on Ecclesiastical Irregularities so that the said terms shall run, to inquire into the nature and extent of ecclesiastical disorders, the teaching or profession by the 266 Bishops and clergy of the Church of England of doctrines inconsistent with the Law of this Realm, into proposed legislative remedies, and into matters connected therewith.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI think I gave reasons in my speech on the Motion for adjournment why I did not think that questions of doctrine should be included in the reference to the Commission, and I see no reason to alter that opinion.
