HC Deb 16 May 1912 vol 38 cc1426-7W
Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

asked whether the endowment received by St. David's College, Lampeter, from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners and from the rectorial tithes of Llangeber and Llanddewi will be treated as Welsh ecclesiastical property or as lay impropriations under the Established Church (Wales) Bill?

Mr. McKENNA

If, as it appears, the college is not an ecclesiastical corporation, it will not be dissolved by the Bill, and the property of the college, not being property belonging or appropriated to the use of any ecclesiastical office or cathedral corporation, will not be regarded as Welsh ecclesiastical property.
