§ MR. S. T. GRIFFITH-BOSCAWENOn behalf of the hon. Member for Chester (Mr. R. A. Yerburgh), I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will grant the Return of Dissenting Endowments in Wales and Monmouthshire which stands on this day's Paper?
§ MR. H. H. ASQUITHI was asked last Session by the hon. Member for the Oswestry Division of Shropshire if the Government would assent to a Return of Dissent Endowments in England and 41 Wales, and, on the ground that the information could only be obtained at an expense and trouble out of all proportion to its value, and without any adequate security as to its trustworthiness, I informed him that the Government did not see their way to his Motion. I am afraid I must give the same answer to the hon. Member who puts this question.
§ MR. GRIFFITH-BOSCAWENasked whether the right hon. Gentleman did not think that such a Return would be most valuable this Session, when the Welsh Disestablishment Kill was being pressed forward?
§ MR. ASQUITHThe question is whether it would be trustworthy.
