HC Deb 02 May 1911 vol 25 c204
Mr. MORRELL

asked the hon. Member for the Stroud Division, as representing the Charity Commissioners, if he will state what was the total amount of agricultural land belonging to the Commission; and what portion of it was let in holdings of fifty acres or less in the years 1904, 1907, and 1910, respectively, with the percentage in each case?

Mr. C. P. ALLEN

There is no land belonging to the Charity Commission. Land belonging to charities is under the management of the various bodies of trustees of the charities.

Mr. MORRELL

have the Charity Commissioners any control over the management?

Mr. C. P. ALLEN

The powers and duties of the Commissioners are subject to so many complications of statute that I must ask the hon. Member to kindly give notice of the question. If he has any case in mind I shall be glad to inquire.
