§ SIR W. FOSTER (Derby, Ilkeston)I beg to ask the hon. Member for Penrith whether the Charity Commissioners have it in contemplation to hold a public inquiry at Risley in connection with the draft scheme recently issued for Risley Schools; and, if so, whether the inquiry will be held at some hour in the evening, so as to give the industrial classes a full opportunity of stating their views on the scheme?
MR. J. W. LOWTHEROn the 8th of this month the Charity Commissioners directed that a public inquiry should be held (under the provisions of 140 sections 35 and 50 of the Endowed Schools Act, 1869) concerning the draft scheme which has been published for the Risley School foundation; and they have already instructed the Assistant Commissioners, to whom the duty of holding this inquiry is committed, to arrange for an evening sitting for the convenience of the working classes.
