Immediate source of acquisition (When and where the record was acquired from)
- These papers were created by the commission but there are no records for who deposited them at the Church of England Record Centre, or when this happened. At CERC they were grouped with other Archbishops' Commissions to form the artificial fonds CERC: AC. These catalogue entries were migrated from the records management sytem in September 2012 and the records moved to Lambeth Palace Library when the two institutions combined in 2021.

It was formed of members of the Legal Board and the Moral Welfare Committee. Chairman: Mr W H Coles; Secretary: Miss E Steel.
