HC Deb 13 September 1887 vol 321 cc480-1
SIR WALTER FOSTER (Derby, Ilkeston)

asked the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education, Whether he will grant a Return of the Charities of which the rent-charges or other payments have been withheld, or attempted to be withheld, to the knowledge of the Charity Commissioners during the last 10 years?

THE VICE PRESIDENT (Sir WILLIAM HART DYKE) (Kent, Dartford)

The same objections will in great measure hold good to granting the Return in the form now suggested, as I mentioned in replying to a similar inquiry a month ago; and I am further informed that it would be by no means easy to make a complete or satisfactory Return. I will, however, cause further inquiries to be made of the Commissioners in the matter.
