§ VISCOUNT CRANBORNE (Rochester)I beg to ask Mr. Solicitor-General if he will state who will be the defendant in a trial before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, under Section 14 of The Endowed Schools Act, 1873, when the powers of the Charity Commission in respect of making education schemes have been transferred to the Board of Education under the Board of Education Bill.
§ THE SOLICITOR-GENERAL (Sir R. B. FINLAY,) Inverness BurghsThe Charity Commissioners are not required by any Statute to appear as respondents on any such appeal, but have been in the habit of doing so. Under the Bill as it now stands and subject to any special provision which may be made by the Order in Council under Section 2 (2), it may be expected that the Board of Education will appear as respondents on such appeals, except, possibly, in cases in which the question on the appeal is whether the endowment is an educational one.
