§ MR. W. H. JAMESasked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether Her Majesty's Government have had under their consideration in the Recess the present charge of the expenses of the Charity Commission upon the Consolidated Fund; and, whether they entertain submitting any scheme to Parliament by which either the whole or part of the expenses of the Commission may be raised by a small sum raised upon the Charities within its jurisdiction?
§ SIR HENRY SELWIN-IBBETSON,in reply, said, he was now in communication with the Charity Commissioners with regard to the present charge of the expenses of the Commission and the quarter from which it should be defrayed, and when Parliament met after the Recess he should be able, he hoped, to suggest some alteration in the present system.
