§ 35. Mr. MORGAN JONESasked the Minister for Agriculture whether he has received an application from the Porthcawl Rural District Council for an exchange of the charity land of the labouring poor; whether he has received evidence that the proposed exchange would be a violation of the trust; whether he is aware that the Charity Commissioners have already refused the application; and what action he proposes to take?
§ The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Mr. Edward Wood)I have received an application for an exchange of the land to which the hon. Member refers, and also representations to the effect that the exchange would be a violation of the trust. I am aware that the Charity Commissioners have already refused the application, and, before arriving at any decision, I propose to await the result of certain inquiries that I am making in the matter.
§ Mr. JONESMay I take it that all the interests concerned will be consulted on this matter before any decision is taken?
