HC Deb 23 July 1891 vol 356 c125
MR. SUMMERS

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether his attention has been called to the scheme of the charity known as the Wesleyan Day School in the Borough of Scarborough, and more particularly to Clause 3 of the scheme, which provides that the balance of the net proceeds of the sale of the school Shall be invested, and the income thereof applied in granting rewards or prizes to deserving children resident in Scarborough who attend a public elementary school, and who are also regular attendants at some Wesleyan Sunday school; and whether he will advise the Home Secretary to withhold his consent to the scheme until such proportion of the proceeds of the sale as the building grant bore to the original cost of the buildings shall have been repaid to the State?

SIR W. HART DYKE

The Department have not advised the Home Secretary to attach such a condition to the sale in question, seeing that the proceeds are to be dealt with, as near as possible, within the terms of the original trust, under a scheme which has been approved by the Charity Commissioners.
