The report outlines amendments by Mr Morgan and the Liberal opposition to Balfour's burial bill. It notes proposed changes to Clause 6 allowing non Anglican services in churchyards and disputes over consecrated versus unconsecrated ground. The piece predicts government support versus Liberal resistance and hints at possible withdrawal.
The piece discusses The Consecration of Churchyards Acts Amendment Bill and its aim to perpetuate sectarian distinctions at graves. It notes scrutiny by the Committee of Dissenting Deputies and the Liberation Society executives, led by the Liberal member for Gloucester city.
