HC Deb 29 April 1929 vol 227 cc1354-5
Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLE

I beg to move, That, in accordance with the Church of England Assembly (Powers) Act, 1919, this House do direct that the Representation of the Laity Measure, 1929, be presented to His Majesty for Royal Assent. This Measure does not excite any party controversy. It does not change the method of representation of the laity in the church councils, whether parochial, rurideaconal or diocesan, or in the House of Assembly. It fills certain gaps and provides for the filling of vacancies and for improvements of certain machinery in regard to giving notice, and so on. It has been approved by the Ecclesiastical Committee.

Question put, and agreed to.
