HC Deb 05 June 1894 vol 25 cc421-2
MR. SNAPE

I beg to ask the Parliamentary Charity Commissioner why the Assistant Commissioner proposes to recommend a smaller grant from the Governors of Hulme's Charity for higher education in Bury than has been given to Oldham; and if the relative populations of the two boroughs has affected the amount of the proposed grant, why that consideration should now be introduced when it was not regarded as between Manchester and Oldham when the grants from the Hulme Trust were made to those two places?

THE PARLIAMENTARY CHARITY COMMISSIONER (Mr. F. S. STEVENSON,) Suffolk, Eye

The Charity Commissioners have not yet received any Report from the Assistant Commissioner who has been visiting Bury. It is understood that no funds are as yet available from the Hulme Trust for Bury. When the time arrives, the Commissioners will take all the circumstances into consideration before publishing a Scheme.
