§ Mr. Haymanasked the Attorney-General what schemes have been submitted to court for the disposal of the unspent balance of the North Devon and West Somerset Flood Relief Fund, amounting to £34,394; and what reply he is giving to the Executive Committee of the League against Cruel Sports, which 115W has requested that no such scheme should be approved until the trustees of the fund have published detailed accounts concerning the money already expended, which amounts to £1,300,000.
The Solicitor-GeneralNo application has been made to the court. The Secretary of the League against Cruel Sports is being informed that, as the terms of a scheme for the disposal of the unspent balance of the fund cannot be affected by the manner in which the fund has hitherto been applied, it would not be proper for my right hon. and learned Friend to make his approval of a scheme subject to the publication of accounts of the money already spent.
