§ MR. ELLIS GRIFFITHI beg to ask the Prime Minister whether his attention has been called to the fact that it was stated in evidence at the inquiry held on the 15th inst. at Gwespyr, Flintshire, that Sir Pyers Mostyn had caused notice to quit to be served upon thirteen of his tenants for no reason other than that the said tenants had supported the establishment of an undenominational school in the district; and whether the Government propose to take any and what steps by legislation or otherwise, to protect tenants against such eviction.
§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANI cannot say anything about this matter at present. The Commissioner will make a formal report to my right hon. friend the President of the Board of Education whose duty it will be to come to a decision in regard to it. It would be improper for me under these circumstances to offer an opinion upon a case in process of judicial determination.
