Asked by: Mike Wood (Conservative - Kingswinford and South Staffordshire) Wednesday 21st October 2026 Question To ask the hon. Member for Battersea, representing the Church Commissioners, further to the written statement of 10 September 2026, HCWS325, on Church Appointments, whether the Archbishop of Canterbury was consulted by the Prime Minister before the Prime Minister’s announcement of amending the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829.
