HC Deb 11 May 1888 vol 326 c41
MR. BARTLEY (Islington, N.)

asked the hon. Member for the Penrith Division of Cumberland, as a Charity Commissioner, Whether the United Westminster Schools Charity has entered into any agreement to sell or lease the land belonging to the Charity in Victoria Street; and, whether such sale or lease has been approved by the Charity Commissioners?

MR. J. W. LOWTHER (Cumberland, Penrith)

The Governors of the United Westminster Schools did, in December, 1883, with the sanction of the Charity Commissioners, enter into an agreement for the sale (at the price of £56,375) of a piece of land having a frontage to the south side of Victoria Street of 255 feet. The terms of the agreement were some-what altered in April, 1888, and the agreement so altered has just received the sanction of the Charity Commission. This is the only uncompleted transaction of which the Charity Commission have any information.
