HC Deb 07 December 1893 vol 19 cc650-1
MR. BURNIE (Swansea, Town)

I beg to ask the Attorney General whether, after the Charity Commissioners and the Education Department had sanctioned the intermediate and technical education scheme of the County Borough of Swansea, an appeal against it was several months since lodged with the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council; whether he will state by whom or on whose behalf the objection was lodged; how soon the Judicial Committee will hear and adjudge upon it; and whether he will do what he can to obviate further delay?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir C. RUSSELL, Hackney, S.)

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative; to the rest of the question, the objection to the scheme was lodged by, and on behalf of, the feoffees of the Swansea Grammar School. The date at which the case will be heard rests with the Privy Council, and I have no authority in the matter.
