Proceeding contribution from Lord Elton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 13 January 2010. It occurred during Legislative debate on Vacancies in Suffragan Sees and Other Ecclesiastical Offices Measure.
Vacancies in Suffragan Sees and Other Ecclesiastical Offices Measure
Your Lordships should not have an exaggerated idea of the ferocity of the controversy which took place in the Ecclesiastical Committee. I rise merely to support this Measure with enthusiasm, particularly as regards the discarding of the most unfortunate practice of appointing people to lose a race, which seems to be what we were doing over the last few centuries.
