HC Deb 29 June 1908 vol 191 cc360-1
MR. PIKE PEASE (Darlington)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when it is expected that the Welsh Church Commission will issue their Report.

MR. GLADSTONE

The taking of evidence has been finished, and the Report is being drafted, but I am informed that the materials are voluminous, and the work must necessarily take some time. The Commission propose to sit at the end of July for preliminary consideration of the Report.

MR. REES

asked whether the promise of the introduction of a Disestablishment Bill for Wales next session was dependent on the production and consideration of the Report of the Commission in the interval.

MR. GLADSTONE

said that was a separate Question, of which he thought the hon. Member should give him notice.
