Sir Francis Fremantle

Last night I was asked a question on the subject of where provision is made for the consent of the parochial church council being obtained. The answer is that there is no change whatsoever in the position of the parochial church council. The position is set out in Clause 3.

Resolved, That, in accordance with the Church of England Assembly (Powers) Act, 1919, this House do direct that the Parsonages Measure, 1938, be presented to His Majesty for Royal Assent.
