HC Deb 09 May 1912 vol 38 c572
Lord ROBERT CECIL

asked whether, under the provisions of the Established Church (Wales) Bill, it will be for a secular Court to decide whether or not a clergyman of the Church in Wales is or is not teaching doctrine or using ritual in accordance with the formularies of the Church?

Mr. McKENNA

Provided the Ecclesiastical Courts under Clause 3 be established, the answer is in the negative.

Viscount WOLMER

The point was what authority the Ecclesiastical Courts will hold?

Mr. McKENNA

The same authority as now.
