HC Deb 29 April 1907 vol 173 c497
MR. WEDGWOOD (Newcastle-under-Lyme)

To ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he is aware that disorders continue in the Church of England, and that the archbishops and bishops have failed to take such steps as are necessary to enforce compliance with the law; and whether he will advise the withdrawal of the Letters of Business, recently issued to the Houses of Convocation, until such compliance has been enforced by the archbishops and bishops.

(Answered by Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman.) It is common knowledge that such disorders exist, and that the episcopal authorities have not enforced complete compliance with the law. I am unable to adopt my hon. friend's suggestion. Even if it were practicable I doubt if it would be effective.
