WYTHENSHAWE PARISHES (TRANSFER) MEASURE, 1933.

HC Deb 06 April 1933 vol 276 c2066

11.34 p.m.

Sir JOHN HASLAM

I beg to move, That, in accordance with the Church of England Assembly (Powers) Act, 1919, this House do direct that the Wythenshawe Parishes(Transfer) Measure, 1933, be presented to His Majesty for Royal Assent, As the Measure is entirely non-controversial in character and is only brought forward in the interests of administrative efficiency, I do not think I need go into the details. It was introduced in the Church Assembly by and with the entire approval of the two dioceses concerned and was passed both by the Church Assembly and the Ecclesiastical Committee, in my presence, with absolute unanimity. I think I am in duty bound briefly to explain what the Measure does. It transfers certain parishes from the Diocese of Chester to the Diocese of Manchester. Manchester has enlarged its borders and the area proposed to be transferred is now part of the city of Manchester. It is for the administrative efficiency of the parishes concerned that the Measure is brought forward.

Sir JOHN BIRCHALL

I beg to second the Motion.

The remaining Orders were read, and postponed.

It being after half-past Eleven of the Clock upon Thursday eveving, Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKER adjourned the House, without Question put, pursuant to the Standing Order.

Adjourned at Twenty-six Minutes before Twelve o'clock.
