§ (b) Drafts of such proposed scheme shall be published locally in the prescribed manner, and also be transmitted in the prescribed manner to the patron or patrons affected, together with a notice in each case requiring any objections to such draft scheme to be stated or transmitted in writing to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners within the prescribed time.
§ (Ecclesiastical Commissioners to Certify Final Scheme to the King in Council.)
§ (c) After giving full consideration to such objections (if any), and after making such alterations (if any) in the draft scheme as, having regard to such objections, they shall deem right, and after submitting such alterations (if any) to the Bishop of the diocese or the Bishops of the dioceses affected, and obtaining his or their consent thereto in writing, the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. (unless, after full consideration, 623 they shall think it advisable to withdraw the scheme) shall certify the scheme, and the consent thereto in writing of the Bishop of the diocese or the Bishops of the dioceses affected, to His Majesty in Council.
§ Sir S. HOAREI beg to move, in paragraph (a), to leave out the words "or a majority of the Commissioners."
This is a purely drafting Amendment.
Major BARNESI should like to get some statement of the effect of this Amendment. The Clause as it stands refers to the majority of the Commissioners. I think that the Amendment means that the vote should be unanimous.
§ Sir S. HOAREI will, in the next Amendment, move to insert the words "unanimously or by a majority of votes."
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Further Amendment made: In paragraph (a), after the word "shall" ["making the Report shall"], insert the words "unanimously or by a majority of votes."—[Sir S. Hoare]
§ Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
§ Clauses 5, 6, 7, and 8 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
