HC Deb 05 April 1894 vol 22 c1430
MAJOR DARWIN (Staffordshire, Lichfield)

On behalf of my hon. Friend the Member for North St. Pancras, I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether any Report has been obtained by the Governors of Christ's Hospital as to the suitability, or otherwise, of the site purchased by them at Horsham for the erection of the new school buildings; what is the nature of such Report; whether the site fulfils all sanitary requirements; when, and by whom, was the Report made; and will it be laid upon the Table of the House?

THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (Mr. ACLAND, York, W.R., Rothorham)

The question relates to a transaction completed more than a year ago by the Council of Almoners of Christ's Hospital, in the course of carrying into effect the scheme established under the Endowed Schools Acts for the regulation of the Hospital on the 10th of August, 1890. No such Report as is mentioned in the question has been communicated to the Charity Commissioners, and they are, therefore, unable to give the information asked.
