HL Deb 27 June 1867 vol 188 c586
THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY

My Lords, certain reports having appeared in the public prints respecting the proceedings of the Royal Commission appointed to inquire into the difference of Practise in the Conduct of Public Worship in Churches of the United Church of England and Ireland, I desire to assure your Lordships that these reports are entirely unauthorized, and, for the most part, totally devoid of truth. I may also mention that an understanding has been come to by the Members of that Commission, in the interests of the objects of the Commission, that no communication shall be made by Members of it to persons outside as to what passes at the meetings of the Commission.
