§ MR. JAMES STUART (Shoreditch, Hoxton)asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, When the Commissioners appointed under "The City of London Parochial Charities Act, 1883," are expected to make a Report or Statement; and, whether he can state approximately the total amount of funds which will come under section 13 (b) and section 14 (c) of the Act, namely, so as to be applicable
to the promoting the education of the poorer inhabitants of the Metropolis, whether by means of exhibitions, or of technical instruction, or of secondary education, or of art education, or of evening lectures,or otherwise, as specified in the Clauses of the Act above referred to?
§ THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (SIR HENRY HOLLAND) (Hampstead)(who replied) said: The Charity Commissioners expect to be in a position to make a first statement before the close of the year, and other statements—for which the materials are to a large extent prepared—will follow. Until the whole of the statements are prepared, and the Commissioners are in a position to consider the requirements of the Metropolis in respect to the whole of the various purposes enumerated by the Act, the Commissioners cannot state the amount of the funds which will be applicable to educational purposes.
