§ Mr. G. Campbellasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will now initiate consultations with the churches in order to reach agreement upon the fixing of Easter as the same week-end, perhaps the second, in April in every year.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsIt is as a result of approaches already made to the churches in this country that the World Council of Churches have been prompted to undertake their present enquiries into the possibility of agreeing a fixed date for Easter, one of the choices suggested being the Sunday following the second Saturday in April. There would seem little advantage in a further approach while these enquiries are in progress.
