HC Deb 05 May 1930 vol 238 cc724-5

Order for Second Reading read.

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Sir Charles Trevelyan)

I beg to move, "That, the Bill be now read a Second time."

I hope that the House will accept this Bill with no appreciable discussion. It deals simply with a small local scheme framed by the Board of Education under the Charitable Trusts Act. A proportion of the gross income of the Church Corporation Trust at Crediton is payable to the Crediton Exhibition Foundation. Owing to the increase of local rates, the apportionment has given an unforeseen and unintended advantage to the Exhibition Foundation at the expense of the Church branch of the Trust. The scheme remedies this, apportioning the net income in a, manner agreed to between the parties concerned in the parish, and the county education authority. I hope that the House will accept the Bill.

Question put, and agreed to.

Bill read a Second time.

Bill committed to a Committee of the whole House for To-morrow.—[Sir C. Trevelyan.]
