HC Deb 08 January 1942 vol 377 cc18-9
31. Sir Robert Bird

asked the Home Secretary whether he will state the details of the interim payments, aggregating £100,000 in cash, recently made by the Welsh Church Commissioners to the University of Wales?

Mr. H. Morrison

Details of interim pay-merits to date, as agreed with the University of Wales, are: £24,000 on 28th February, 1940; £40,000 on 5th August, 1940; and £36,000 on 31st October, 1940.

Sir R. Bird

Is the Home Secretary aware that interim distributions to the University of Wales by the Welsh Commissioners now aggregate to over £220,000, and include the transfer of the whole of the land, property, and real estate, to which the University is entitled, and that none of the other 17 beneficiaries has received any interim distribution whatever?

Mr. Morrison

I am afraid I cannot say without notice.
