HC Deb 05 December 1919 vol 122 c838

In this Act— (1) "The National Assembly of the Church of England" (hereinafter called "the Church Assembly") means the Assembly constituted in accordance with the constitution set forth in the Appendix to, the Addresses presented to His Majesty by the Convocations of Canterbury and York on the tenth day of May, nineteen hundred and nineteen, and laid before both Houses of Parliament by His Majesty's command;

Viscount WOLMER

I beg to move, in. paragraph (1), to leave out the words, "by His Majesty's Command."

This is a purely drafting Amendment. The constitution of the National Assembly of the Church of England, which is laid before Parliament, not being technically known as a Command Paper, it is advisable that these words be left out.

Lord HUGH CECIL

I beg to second the Amendment.

Amendment agreed to.
