CORONATION OATH
LITTLE CHANGE.
POLITICAL ONLY.
Protestant Reformers Concerned with Form. Press Association—Copyright. Received 12.40 p.m. London, February 17. The Prime Minister's secretary has sent a letter to the Rev. M. Longbottom, leader of the Liverpool Protestant Reformers, saying that the changes in the Coronation Oath occur almost entirely in that section having purely a political significance. In order to avoid possible misunderstandings in the Dominions concerning the new constitutional position, “some small rearrangement of -the phraseology has been effected in the last section of the Oath dealing with the maintenance of the Protestant reformed religion and settlement of the Church of England. The form of oath to be used will be published before the date of the Coronation.”
The Rev. Mr. Longbottom urges that any alteration in the oath affecting the protestant settlement should be published as soon as possible
