§ THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (Sir LYON PLAYFAIR)Mr. Speaker, I beg to move that a Select Committee be appointed—
To inquire into the operation of 'The Endowed Schools Act, 1869,' and the amending Acts, and to consider and report how far it may be expedient to amend the powers exercised under them by the Charity Commissioners.I only wish to remark that a Committee sat last year upon Charitable Trusts, and strongly recommended that a Select Committee on "The Endowed Schools Acts" be moved for this year. My right hon. Friend the President of the Beard of Trade (Mr. Mundella), on the part of the Government, and my right hon. Friend opposite (Sir Henry Holland), who preceded me in my Office, on behalf of the late Government, recommended the appointment of the Committee. I, therefore, move that a Select Committee be appointed.
§
Motion agreed to.
Select Committee appointed, "to inquire into the operation of 'The Endowed Schools Act, 1869,' and the amending Acts, and to consider and report how far it may be expedient to amend the powers exercised under them by the Charity Commissioners."—(Sir Lyon Playfair.)
