HC Deb 12 March 1888 vol 323 c868
SIR JULIAN GOLDSMID (St. Pancras, S.)

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, If he will inform the House what the special arrangements are which he proposes to make to meet the case of Trustees who may have to decide on the question of conversion of Trust Funds?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN) (St. George's, Hanover Square)

The Bill enables the Treasury to make Rules prescribing the evidence to be required of a person being a Trustee, and authorizes the Bank to accept and act on the evidence so prescribed, and expressly declares that the Bank is not to be affected with notice of any Trust. This will, I hope, remove the difficulties foreseen by the hon. Baronet. The Bill will be in the hands of hon. Members to-morrow.
