§ MR. D. THOMAS (Merthyr Tydvil)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he can state how much of the income of £234,000 now paid to parochial incumbents in Wales and Monmouthshire will, under the Established Church (Wales) Bill, be vested in the County Councils of Cardiff, Swansea, and Newport respectively?
§ MR. ASQUITHI must refer my hon. Friend to the Return which was granted on his Motion last year. The figures there set forth will enable him 1378 to answer the question, and I have no further information which would enable me to supplement them.
§ MR. D. THOMASMy right hon. Friend is quite wrong; the information cannot be got from the Return. In the Return the endowments of Cardiff and Swansea are included in those of Glamorganshire, and the endowment of Newport in those of Monmouthshire. They are not distinguished.
§ MR. ASQUITHI will examine the Returns.
