§ 6. Sir C. Taylorasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to hear the results of the inquiry by the World Council of Churches into the possibility of a fixed Easter; and if he will make a statement.
§ Miss BaconI cannot yet give a date. The inquiry being conducted by the World Council of Churches is far reaching and will take some considerable time to complete.
§ Sir C. TaylorCould not the Government give an elbow a bit of a nudge in order to get this matter settled once arid for all?
§ Miss BaconYes, we will do what we can because, of course, we recognise the advantages of a fixed Easter, but I am sure that the hon. Member will appreciate that account has to be taken of various religious views.
