§ MR. HARRY POLLOCK (Lincoln, Spalding)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether it is the intention of the Government to fill up the vacancy on the Charity Commission created by the appointment of Mr. D. C. Richmond to the post of Assistant Controller and Auditor General in the Exchequer and Audit Department; and whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce next Session a Measure dealing with the constitution of the Charity Commission, with a view to placing the work of the Commission more directly under the control of Parliament?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYsaid it was not proposed to fill up the vacant place. Mr. Richmond was a temporary Commissioner, and it was not necessary that a new temporary Charity Commissioner should be appointed. He could not give any pledge in regard to legislation on the subject.
