HC Deb 11 February 1930 vol 235 cc215-6
47. Mr. THURTLE

asked the Prime Minister whether he is contemplating introducing legislation which will have the effect of taking away from the Lords Spiritual their existing rights as legislators?

The PRIME MINISTER

The answer is in the negative.

Mr. THURTLE

In coming to the decision which he has just announced, has the Prime Minister taken into consideration the fact that these Bishops, by their attitude on the Deposited Prayer Book, are flouting the expressed will of Parliament?
