§ 46. Mr. BRACKENasked the Prime Minister whether he will consider the introduction of legislation to prevent the sale of advowsons?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe answer is in the negative.
§ Mr. BRACKENIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the advowson of the parish church at, Hampstead has been sold to a partisan church society without the knowledge of the vicar or the parish council, and does he not think that this traffic in advowsons is a great public scandal?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI understand that the proper authority to deal with with this matter has it at the present moment under review—that is the Church Assembly.
§ Mr. BRACKENWill their decision be implemented by the House of Commons?
