§ MR. T. L. CORBETT (Down, N.)I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, considering the financial question involved, he proposes to take any steps to ascertain how far the property of conventual and monastic institutions is held by individuals, and not by properly constituted trusts.
§ MR. MCKENNAI have no means of obtaining information on the subject.
§ MR. T. L. CORBETTWill the hon. Gentleman take means, or endeavour to take means, to find out?
§ MR. McKENNAI cannot endeavour to take means, when we have no means.
§ MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER (Croydon)Has not this question arisen in the Channel Islands, and have not the authorities in the Channel Islands obtained exactly the information which the hon. Gentleman says he cannot obtain?
§ MR. McKENNAI must beg the right hon. Gentleman to give notice of that Question.
