HC Deb 20 June 1899 vol 73 cc70-1
MR. LLOYD MORGAN (Carmarthen, W.)

I beg to ask the hon. Member representing the Charity Commissioners whether any steps have been taken by the Commissioners to secure the proper administration of the James Yalden Nevill Charity for the benefit of the poor of the parish of Llanedi, in the county of Carmarthen; whether the Commissioners will take the necessary steps to see that in future a full and complete statement of the accounts of the charity shall be annually submitted by the trustee of the charity to the Parish Council; and whether the Commissioners will take a similar course with regard to the Nevill Charity for the benefit of the poor of the parish of Llangennech, in the county of Carnarvon.

THE PARLIAMENTARY CHARITY COMMISSIONER (Mr. J. G. LAWSON,) York N.R., Thirsk

No steps have yet been taken by the Commissioners to secure the proper administration of Nevill's Charity for the poor of Llanedi, the mode of administration, which seems to be irregular, having been but recently brought to the knowledge of the Commissioners. The Commissioners will take immediate steps to secure that the accounts shall be properly kept and duly presented to the Parish Meeting, and a similar course will be taken in the case of Nevill's Charity for the poor of Llangennech.

MR. LLOYD MORGAN

I beg to ask the hon. Member representing the Charity Commissioners whether the Commissioners have under their consideration any scheme for dealing with the accumulations under the Cicely Morris Charity for the benefit of the poor of the parish of Llandisilio, in the county of Carmarthen; and whether the part of the said charity which is to be applied for the education of the children of the poor of the parish will be administered irrespective of the religions creed of the parents of the Children.

MR. J. G. LAWSON

No application has been made to the Commissioners for dealing by a scheme with the accumulations referred to, amounting to £42 3s. 4d., at the date of the inquiry held by the Assistant Commissioner. They will be prepared to entertain such an application, if made to them. The Commissioners will take the necessary steps to secure that the part of the charity applicable to the children of the poor of the parish is administered in future in accordance with the trusts.
