§ MR. THOMAS ELLIS (Merionethshire)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether Her Majesty's Government will direct or advise the Charity Commissioners to submit an amended scheme for the administration of Howell's Charity, with the view of rendering the existing endowments more available and beneficial for the education of girls in North Wales?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF TILE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR, Manchester, E.)As I understand the matter, the Government have no right to put the Charity' Commissioners in motion, nor 574 have they that right even if the Charity Commissioners could take the initiative in these schemes under existing legislation with regard to educational endowments in Wales. I do not think that the Government has anything to do with these schemes until they come before the Lord President of the Council in the ordinary course after they have been settled by the Charity Commissioners.
