The working party was set up in 1991, and has met on a number of occasions since then at various venues. It became clear that because of other commitments its members felt unable to make a thorough study of the subject, and it was decided to produce a working paper which would set out the points which would need to be addressed if a Bill to disestablish the Church of England was ever introduced. The working party is now dissolved, though there is still need for another group to forward the discussion at a time when the concept of ‘re-establishment’ is gaining favour. The members of this working party, it should be stressed, were themselves divided about the need, or otherwise, of disestablishment. Equally, members of the working party were drawn from the established Church of England and the disestablished Church in Wales. We also had some input from members living abroad.
