§ SIR WALTER FOSTER (Derbyshire, Ilkeston)To ask the hon. Member for the Elland Division of Yorkshire, as representing the Charity Commissioners, whether any application has been received from the trustees of the Prynces charity in the parish of Holme Lacy, in the county of Hereford, for authority to sell the charity lands; whether any memorial against such sale has been received, or any request for a public inquiry; and whether the Charity Commissioners will undertake to postpone the sale, if any, until a public inquiry has been held, and if such sale is allowed, to order it to be by public auction.
(Answered by Mr. Trevelyan.) The present administrators of the charity have approached the Commissioners with reference to a sale of the charity land, but they have not yet made any formal application for authority to sell, and no memorial with respect to such proposed sale, or request for a public inquiry, has been received by the Commissioners.
