Immediate source of acquisition (When and where the record was acquired from)
- These records 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. They were either depositted in two batches as ACDB/1 was 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. ACDB/2-5 were transfered to CERC in August 1994 and were grouped into accession record C-2019-85 to track their location for the move to the new library.

The Commission was established in January 1965 by Michael Ramsey, Archbishop of Canterbury, in agreement with the other diocesan bishops. Their terms of reference were "to recommend, in the light of present conditions and of plans which may reasonably be expected to be carried out for development of the South-East and its component areas, what is likely to be the best organisation of the Church by diocese."
The main Commission considered the dioceses which made up Greater London and was chaired by Sir Humphrey Mynors. Two Sub-Commissions were established considering Chichester, Guildford, Portsmouth and Winchester, chaired by Sir Humphrey Mynors and Oxford and adjacent areas, chaired by Sir William Lawson. The secretary to the Commission was Mr K A L Argent with Mr T M Robinson as an assistant.
