Jennifer Fellows from the Diocese of Gloucester is bringing amendment 567

that was carried with 188 votes for; 119 against and 26 abstentions.

Now considering Mr Bacon's second amendment

the item is lost on a show of hands.

this amendment would remove the prohibition on the chair of the Vacancy in See Committee.from elected membership of the CNC but would retain the prohibition on bishops from such membership.

Item 565 is an amendment from Nigel Bacon
