HC Deb 13 September 1909 vol 10 cc1906-7W
Mr. MARKHAM

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, seeing that full information of the royalties and wayleaves on minerals charged by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners has been given to the House this week, he is aware that the Charity Commissioners state they are unable to give this same information of charity funds under their control, on the ground that their staff is insufficient to collect the information; and whether he will grant a sum of £5 to the Commissioners to enable them to collect this information before the Mineral Clauses of the Budget are taken?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

I do not see my way to make the grant proposed by my hon. Friend.
