HC Deb 17 April 1902 vol 106 cc536-7
MR. LOUGH

I beg to ask the Attorney General whether the trustees of the Richard Cloudesley Charity have expressed to him their approval of his proposals for the distribution of the annual income of the Charity: whether the trustees have prepared their scheme, and when will it be presented to the High Court of Justice; and, if not, can he explain the cause of the delay; and

"Return showing the number of Livings in the Established Church of England and Wales, (a) of which the annual net income, as defined by the Incumbents' Resignation Act, 1887, section 5 is less than £400 but not less than £300; (b) of which the annual net income is less than £300 but not less than £200; (c) of which the annual net income is less than £200 but not less than £100; (d) of which the annual net income is £100 or less; und in how many cases the Population of such Livings as thus classified exceeds the scale of Population named in the Return, Church of England and Wales (Livings and Population)."

whether he will arrange that a copy of the scheme will be submitted to the Town Council of Islington for its opinion before it is settled by the High Court of Justice.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir ROBERT FIXLAY,) Inverness Burghs

The trustees have approved in substance the suggestions made by me with regard to this Charity, which have been already communicated to the Borough Council. The scheme will be brought before the Court as soon as possible, and copies will be sent to the Borough Council of Islington, and other parties concerned for their information before it is finally settled.
