Mr. PIKE PEASE (for Sir Henry Kimber)asked the hon. Member for the Stroud Division, as representing the Charity Commissioners, whether, in view of the fact that the order of the Charity Commissioners establishing a scheme for the administration of the Weir hospital charity was discharged by the order of the Court of Appeal so long ago as 7th June, 1910, and the matter was remitted to the Commissioners to administer the charity in accordance with the directions of the testator, there is any reason why a scheme for the proper adinistration of the charity has not yet been published, and what steps have been, or are likely in the near future to be, taken by the Commissioners to give the parish of Streatham the benefits of the charity bequeathed to them?
§ Mr. C. P. ALLENThe Charity Commissioners have been and still are in communication with the Trustees of Mr. Weir's will as to the provisions of a new scheme. The hon. Member may be assured that the new scheme will be framed, in accordance with the views expressed by the Court of Appeal, for the establishment and maintenance at the testator's residence of a Cottage Hospital, which will be, as directed by him, for the benefit of the inhabitants of Streatham and the neighbourhood.
