§ 59. Sir J. Mellorasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury why the Incumbents (Discipline) Rules, 1948 (S.I., 1948, No. 1919), which came into operation on 6th February, 1948, and were 205W laid before Parliament on 19th February, 1948, were not published by His Majesty's Stationery Office until the end of August, 1948.
§ Mr. Glenvil HallWhen these Rules were made they were printed and placed on sale by the Church Assembly and the question of their inclusion in the Statutory Instruments series had not been considered. Subsequently, at the request of the Church Assembly, it was agreed to include in the Statutory Instruments series Rules made under future measures where such measures contain a provision applying the Statutory Instruments Act, 1946, to such Rules. It was further agreed that this arrangement should apply to the Incumbents (Discipline) Rules made in February, 1948, and these Rules were accordingly printed and published as Statutory Instruments in August, 1948.
