§ 55. Mr. KINGasked the Prime Minister whether he will give undertakings that during the continuance of the War the assent of the Crown shall not be given to any recommendations made by the Convocations in connection with the Letters 177 of Business, and that any legislative proposals relating thereto, or to the creation of fresh bishoprics, shall be treated as controversial?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEMy right, hon. Friend is informed that there is little prospect of the reply to the Royal Letter of Business being submitted at an early date. He is quite unaware what recommendations it will contain, and therefore, while adhering to his pledge as to the introduction by the Government of controversial legislation, he can only say that each question when it arises must be considered on its merits.
