§ MR. A. GRIFFITH-BOSCAWEN (Kent, Tunbridge)I beg to ask the hon. Member for Thirsk, as representing the Charity Commissioners, whether the attention of the Charity Commissioners has been called to a letter addressed to them by the Rev. Lewis Price, Vicar of Llandilofawr, with reference to the proposed scheme for dealing with the charities of Warner and James of that place; and, whether, in view of the fact that it was the intention of the founders of these charities that they should be devoted to education purposes in Llandilofawr under the direction of the Vicar and Churchwardens, and that they have always been applied to the National School, which is a poor one, the Charity Commissioners will agree not to proceed with the scheme?
MR. GRANT LAWSON (York, N. R., Thirsk)Proposals for a scheme in this case have been submitted by the Joint Education Committee of the county of Carmarthen and a scheme has been drafted accordingly, upon which the Commissioners are now in correspondence with the Trustees, but it has not as yet reached the stage of publication in the locality. The Commissioners consider that the scheme should proceed at least as far as the stage of such publication. After publication, and before taking any further steps, the Commissioners will give full consideration to what is urged by the Vicar.
