§ 57. Mr. HOLFORD KNIGHTasked the Prime Minister whether be will grant an early opportunity of discussing the Motion standing in the name of the hon. and learned Member for South Nottingham—["That this House is of the opinion that the action of the Bishops in authorising variations in the order of public worship, without the sanction and against the decision of Parliament, is detrimental to public order and good government."]
§ The PRIME MINISTERI regret that I cannot undertake to give the facilities for which my hon. and learned Friend asks.
§ Mr. KNIGHTMay I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether he is aware of the profound disquiet in the country caused by the action of the Bishops?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThat is a question which I did not allow to be put on the Paper and the hon. and learned Member must not put it in the form of a supplementary question.
§ Mr. KNIGHTI should certainly not put a question down which you would not allow, but I am merely asking, arising out of the reply of the Prime Minister, whether he is aware of the profound disquiet in the country caused by this action?
