§ 45. Mr. KINGasked the Prime Minister what notice has been taken by Convocation of the Church of England of the letters of business issued by the Crown in 1907 inviting and enabling Convocation to make alterations in the prayer book; and whether it is intended to urge Convocation to hasten its action?
§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Asquith)The matters referred to the two Convocations in 1906 were of great intricacy and importance, and required lengthy and careful deliberation. I understand that a special session of Convocation has been fixed for 19th November and the following days, at a time of year when it does not usually meet, with the object of expediting the business.
