§ Sir W. Jenkinsasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what amount of money was in the funds of the Welsh Church Commissioners before any distribution was made; what is the amount distributed up to date; if he will give details of the amounts received by 1432W each beneficiary, separately, together with the date of issue; the position of the funds in possession of the Commissioners to the last available date; and when the final disbursement is likely to be made.
§ Mr. H. MorrisonThe funds for distribution by the Welsh Church Commissioners consist of property of various kinds, the net value of which is estimated at £3,211,345. Up to 31st December, 1943, distributions amounting to £2,315,232 had been made. The remaining £896,113 includes provision for £382,939 estimated as payable under the Tithe Act, 1936, and the Coal Act, 1938, but not yet received by the Commissioners, who are unable in these circumstances to fix the date by which distribution will have been completed. I am sending my hon. Friend a statement supplied to me by the Commissioners which gives particulars of distribution up to 31st December, 1943.
