HC Deb 23 July 1907 vol 178 c1364
MR. CLOUGH

I beg to ask the hon. Member for the Elland Division, as representing the Charity Commissioners, whether the Commissioners have formulated a scheme for placing under one trust the charities of Clarke, Clapham, and others, in the parishes of Giggleswick and Rathmell, all the trustees of which shall be appointed by the parish council of Giggleswick and the parish meeting of Rathmell; and, if not, will he explain why this has not been done.

MR. TREVELYAN (Yorkshire, W.R., Elland)

A scheme has been settled for the charities of the parishes of Giggleswick and Rathmell by which all the trustees will be appointed by the parish council of Giggleswick and the parish meeting of Rathmell. Clarke's charity, owing to difficulties connected with the governing-body, has been omitted from the scheme. But the income of that charity only amounts to 28s. between the two parishes.
