MATTERS RAISED BEFORE THE REVISION COMMITTEE
AND THE GENERAL SYNOD
23. No proposals for amendment were received
by the Revision Committee. The Revision Committee therefore did
not meet, and did not submit a report to the General Synod.
24. Only one person spoke against section 1 of
the Measure in General Synod, at both First Consideration and
Final Approval, on the grounds that it was not compatible with
the purposes for which the Church Commissioners' funds had been
given to the Commissioners to use income from them for the church
overseas. The point was made in response that the Commissioners'
funds come from a number of sources, including the episcopal estates,
not all of which are subject to the restrictions which applied
to Queen Anne's Bounty.
