HC Deb 31 July 1879 vol 248 c1706
MR. W. H. JAMES

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, When the Report of the Commissioners on the Parochial Charities of the City of London will be presented?

MR. ASSHETON CROSS

, in reply, said, that great progress had been made with the Report; but, owing to unforeseen circumstances, and the engagement of many Members, it had been delayed, and it could not be presented to the House this Session.

MR. ARTHUR PEEL

, as a Member of the Commission, said that, in his judgment, it would be impossible to hold out any hope that the Report would be presented before November.
