§ MR. MCKILLOP (Armagh, S.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland how often did the Commissioners for Charitable Donations and Bequests in Ireland meet during the twelve months preceding 23rd November, 1906, to consider appear Section 2 of 30 and 31 Vic, cap. 54, and business incidental thereto; how many of such meetings were attended by each of the Commissioners; and whether the Commissioners are entitled to decline to state to an applicant any ground for their refusal to give an opinion or advice.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) I have referred this Question to the Secretaries to the Commissioners of Charitable Donations and Bequests, who inform me that they will submit it to the Commissioners at their meeting on 24th instant. If the hon. Member will renew the Question after that date, I will furnish him with the Commissioners' answer.
