HC Deb 22 March 1910 vol 15 c1028W
Colonel CHALONER

asked the Prime Minister whether, in advising the Crown as to the selection of a bishop to fill the See of Lincoln, he will decline to nominate any clergyman who has not hitherto uniformly obeyed the law as laid down by the King's judges, and who will not discountenance all attempts to set aside or disregard that law as already declared by the King in Council?

The PRIME MINISTER:

The procedure I propose to follow on the occasion referred to in the question will not differ from that usually observed.
