HC Deb 14 February 1913 vol 48 cc1416-7W
Colonel PRYCE - JONES

asked the Home Secretary (1) what will happen to the church house at Bettws, built as a school in 1852, but now used for Sunday school and other church purposes and approached through the churchyard; and with regard to the church house at Llan- fyllin, built in 1826 as a girls' school, with an entrance into the church for a vestry, and now used for vestry and Church purposes; (2) what will happen under the provisions of the Established Church (Wales) Bill to the Church school at Llandrinio, which was built in 1827 and vested in the rector and churchwardens, and with regard to Llansantffraid, which was built on glebe land and vested in the Archdeacon of Montgomery?

Mr. McKENNA

I am informed that the schools at Llandrinio, Llansantffraid, and Bettws are held on trust for educational purposes, and it does not appear that they will be affected by the Established Church (Wales) Bill. I have been unable to ascertain what are the trusts affecting the church house at Llanfyllin, and cannot express an opinion without further particulars.
