HC Deb 05 June 1902 vol 108 cc1531-2
MR. ALFRED DAVIES (Carmarthen Boroughs)

To ask the hon. Member for the Ton bridge Division of Kent, as a Charity Commissioner, if he will state, with respect to the Cornwallis's Charity for the parish of Llansadwrn, Carmarthenshire, whether the old trustees are to be re-appointed, whether the new scheme is to have the sanction of the Parish Council of Llansadwrn, and whether the bequests under this charity will be devoted to the objects intended by the donor.

(Answer.) The proposals of the Commissioners with regard to the provisions of the scheme are still the subject of communication and consideration between the Commissioners on the one hand and the Patron and Trustees on the other, and, under these circumstances, no definite announcement as to the details of those proposals can usefully or properly be made at present. But the scheme will be duly published, in order that before it is established objections or suggestions may be made respecting its provisions by all persons and bodies interested. And, when it is published, a copy will be sent to the Parish Council of Llansadwrn, and any observations they may make upon it will be carefully considered by the Commissioners before the scheme is finally settled.—(Charity Commission.)

MR. ALFRED DAVIES

To ask the hon. Member for the Tonbridge Division of Kent, as a Charity Commissioner, if he will state with respect to the Cornwallis's Charity for the parish of Llansadwrn, Carmarthenshire, how much capital and how much accumulated income there were found to be in existence by the Assistant Charity Commissioner, Mr. Marchant Williams, after his recent investigation, and the objects for which they were to be used; and, further, will he say if there were reported to be any deficiencies, and, if so, to what extent; and whether he has received any further official information as to the amounts.

(Answer.) The Commissioners do not think they can at the present stage of the proceedings in this case do more in reply to this question than to refer to pages 287 and 288 of the Report of the Assistant Commissioner. (Charity Commission.)
