We still believe that the Government do not intend, when
the Bill reaches the Commons, to disagree summarily with the Lords' amendments, but that they will deal with them individually on their merits and return the Bill to the House of Lords with their reasons for disagreement. When this is done, we trust that a final conference between the representatives of the two Houses will take place, and that a compromise will be reached. We adhere to our belief that the basis of the compromise will be that existing teachers shall be allowed to teach in denominational schools, but not new teachers. As our readers know, we counsel the accept- ance of this compromise because we are convinced that there will be no difficulty in inducing the next Parliament to relieve the new teachers of their statutory disqualification.
