HC Deb 29 August 1893 vol 16 c1358
MR. STANLEY LEIGHTON (Shropshire, Oswestry)

I beg to ask the hon. Member for Merionethshire, as a Charity Commissioner, whether, considering that the Welsh Intermediate Education Bill of 1889 was amended in Committee so as to permit denominational services in boarding houses, and that Clause 92 of the Merionethshire Scheme prohibits such services, he will refer Clause 92 to the Law Officers of the Crown with a view of obtaining their opinion as to its legality?

THE PARLIAMENTARY CHARITY COMMISSIONER (Mr. T. E. ELLIS, Merionethshire)

The clause in the Scheme for the County of Merioneth, to which the question of the hon. Member is intended to refer, is probably Clause 91, and not Clause 92. The Charity Commissioners have no doubt as to the legality of the provisions of Clause 91 of this Scheme, and, consequently, consider it to be unnecessary to adopt the course suggested in the question.
