§ 63. Mr. ORMSBY-GOREasked whether the expression all churches in Clause 8 (1) (a) (i) of the Established Church (Wales) Bill includes the precincts of all churches, parochial as well as cathedral?
§ Mr. McKENNAThe answer is in the negative. The expression "church" includes the precincts in the ease of the cathedral churches only.
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREWhat is to happen to all those monastic ruins and the various buildings round about parish churches in Wales, and to what authority will they be transferred? I could give instances of a number.
§ Mr. McKENNAThe hon. Member had better give me the particular instance which he has in mind.
§ 64. Mr ORMSBY-GOREasked what authority under the Established Church (Wales) Bill will decide whether the grounds and monuments surrounding St. Asaph Cathedral are precincts or a burial ground transferable to a secular authority under Sub-section (b), Sub-clause (1), Clause 8 of the Bill?
§ Mr. McKENNAThe question whether the grounds and monuments surrounding St. Asaph Cathedral are in fact part of the precincts of the cathedral, or a burial ground transferable to a secular authority under Clause 8 of the Bill will be decided by the Welsh Commissioners.
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREWould there be any appeal from the Welsh Commissioners to a Court of Law on this all-important matter?
§ Mr. McKENNAAs I read the Appeal Clause there will be no appeal.
