(L) Letter from 30 Welsh MP's [exception being Bryn Roberts] to W.E.Gladstone. [P.M]) dated: 1893, June 26. Fear that Disestablishment is being avoided by the Government. The Welsh electorate consider Disestablishment very important and should be one of the Government's prime considerations. (2) Reply from Gladstone-addressed to S. Rendel [1893, July 5]. Government not avoiding issue but first must deal with the Irish Government Bill. (3) Rendel to Gladstone [on behalf of Welsh MPs] [1893, July 28]. Now that the Home Rule Bill is dealt with, the Government should turn to Disestablishment. Not to do so would imperil the loyalty of Wales to the Liberal Party. (4) Gladstone to Rendel [1893 August 8] Disestablishment rightly being pressed by the Welsh MPs but the Government has to face a strong opposition and many obstacles lie in the path of the reform. The Government, however, firmly intend to bring a meanue of Disestablishment before the House when this is possible.
