§ MR. RANKIN (Herefordshire, Leominster)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether, under the Charitable Trusts Acts of 1853 and 1855, it will be open to the trustees of any parochial charity to transfer the funds of that charity into the names of the official Charity Trustees, and thus obviate the necessity of altering the names in the securities of the trust every time new trustees are appointed?
SIR W. FOSTER(who replied) said: It will he open to the trustees of any parochial charity to transfer the funds referred to into the names of the official trustees. The case of parochial charities differs in no respect as regards the agency of the official trustees of charitable funds and of charity lands, which is available for the benefit of all endowed charities within the jurisdiction of the Charity Commissioners.
