§ 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. GLADSTONEThe 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. REESasked 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. GLADSTONEsaid that was a separate Question, of which he thought the hon. Member should give him notice.
