Mr. LLEWELYNasked the Secretary to the Treasury if he will state the approximate cost to date of the Welsh Church Commission; and when the publication of the evidence and of the Report of the Commission may be expected?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEThe cost of this Commission to date, excluding expenditure by the Stationery Office, details of which are not yet available, amounts to approximately £7,600. As regards the second part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given yesterday by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Home Department to the hon. Member for Oswestry, in which he stated that he was in communication with the Chairman of the Commission on this point.
Mr. LLEWELYNIs it the intention of the Government to communicate with the Commission on this subject? [HON. MEMBERS: "Speak up."]
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEAs I have said already, the Home Secretary is in communication with the Chairman of the Commission upon the point.
