HC Deb 12 February 1880 vol 250 c508
MR. W. H. JAMES

asked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether the Government intend to re-introduce the Charity Expenses and Accounts Bill of last Session; and, if not, what steps they intend to take to put into effect the assurance given last Session on the subject by the Government?

SIR HENRY SELWIN-IBBETSON,

in reply, said, that it was not the intention of the Government to re-introduce the Bill relating to Charity Expenses and Accounts, which he had laid upon the Table last Session, because the reception which that measure met with then was hardly encouraging. At present no decision had been come to with reference to any further steps being taken on the subject.
