Readers of this Journal do not need to be told of the importance of legislation in forming and reforming ecclesiastical law. They are familiar with the division of legislative functions between Parliament and the General Synod in accordance with the Enabling Act and the conventions which have grown up around it. Where proposed Government legislation has an obvious impact on the interests of the churches, there will normally be consultation between the relevant Government department and the church authorities. The Churches Main Committee monitors and seeks to influence and headquarters staff have access to policy-makers in Whitehall.
