HC Deb 28 July 1874 vol 221 c856
MR. W. E. FORSTER

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, If he can give the House the names of the three new Charity Commissioners which it is the intention of the Government to appoint?

MR. DISRAELI

Mr. Speaker, this is, I believe, the third time the right hon. Gentleman has asked the same Question. I think it is hardly consistent with the custom of the House of Commons, or even with the courtesies of life, to ask the Government repeatedly for information which they have expressed their willingness to give the moment it is in their power to make a communication to the House on the subject.

MR. W. E. FORSTER

said, he had merely asked the Question. The late Government had always given the names of Commissioners before Bills were passed through the House, and he should feel it his duty to continue to ask this Question.
