Church of England Assembly (Powers) Act 1919

Crynodeb

The Enabling Act 1919 gave the Church of England's representative body (now the General Synod) power to prepare Measures having the force of Acts of Parliament. Measures receive Royal Assent after being approved by both Houses of Parliament. This gave the Church significant legislative autonomy within the established church framework.
