HC Deb 15 May 1893 vol 12 c900
MR. BALLANTINE (Coventry)

I beg to ask the Parliamentary Charity Commissioner whether the Charity Commissioners will refuse their sanction to the ten vacancies in the body of Trustees of the general charities of Coventry being filled up on the nomination of the existing Trustees; and whether the Charity Commissioners will give effect to Sir John Swinburne's Resolution, agreed to by the House of Commons on the 18th May, 1886, by proposing a scheme placing the election of the new Trustees in the hands of the Town Council of Coventry?

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

The proceedings upon the application for the appointment of Trustees received in the month of June, 1892, have been suspended until the Commissioners shall receive from the Trustees such a further application as will enable the Commissioners to establish a scheme providing that a certain number of future Trustees shall be appointed otherwise than by co-optation.
