HC Deb 05 June 1894 vol 25 c399
SIR A. SCOBLE (Hackney, Central)

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether he has now under his consideration a scheme framed by the Charity Commissioners with reference to Cass's Charity; whether he is aware that an inquiry is about to be instituted by the Charity Commissioners as to the Charities of the parish of St. Botolph, Aidgate, of which Cass's Charity is one; and whether he will postpone giving his sanction to the proposed scheme until the result of the intended inquiry is known?

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

The scheme referred to by the hon. Member is now under my consideration. The Charity Commissioners have, I understand, no present intention of instituting an inquiry as to Sir John Cass's Charity, which is limited to the City part of the parish of St. Botolph, Aldgate.
