HC Deb 23 March 1893 vol 10 c911
MR. WILSON-TODD (York, N.R., Howdenshire)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, in view of the Second Reading of the Welsh Church Suspensory Bill, whether he would undertake to give a list of the endowments attached to all Nonconformist places of worship in Wales?

MR. W. E. GLADSTONE;

I quite admit that this is a question of very considerable interest, but we have no power of complying with the terms of the question. I may be permitted, however, to mention that Mr. Cubitt, when a Member of this House, took upon himself the pains and responsibility of making a good deal of inquiry about Nonconformist endowments, and was able to deliver a speech upon the subject of very great historical interest in this House. Perhaps I may be allowed to recommend the hon. Member to follow the example of Mr. Cubitt.
