HC Deb 22 February 1883 vol 276 cc581-2
MR. BROADHURST

asked the Vice President of the Privy Council, The cause of the delay by the Charity Commissioners in laying before the House the new scheme for the administration of Christ's Hospital; and, whether he will promise his assistance that the in- tentions of the Founder, King Edward the Sixth, shall be scrupulously carried out?

MR. MUNDELLA

Sir, in reply to the hon. Member's Question, I have received the following answer to my inquiries from the Charity Commissioners:— The scheme which we published some time since for the great foundation of Christ's Hospital in the City of Loudon, and to which objections so voluminous have been taken as to call for minute and protracted investigation on the part of one of our Assistant Commissioners and of ourselves, is still under our anxious consideration. In reply to the second branch of the hon. Member's Question, I can only promise to be guided by the Acts of Parliament under which these schemes are framed. A good deal has happened since the days of Edward VI.
