HL Deb 01 July 1991 vol 530 cc49-50WA
Lord Denning

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the Charity Commissioners should take steps to resolve the future of the old Junior School at Whitchurch in Hampshire which has been closed for the last 18 years; whether on 2nd September 1987 the Charity Commissioners received a valid application to establish a scheme under Sections 1(5)(b) and 2(3) of the Reverter of Sites Act 1987 and whether they will now proceed to establish it.

The Minister of State, Home Office (Earl Ferrers)

I understand that, although the Charity Commissioners received the application to which the noble Lord refers, the trustees no longer wish to proceed with it. The Commissioners are currently in correspondence with the trustees of the former school premises at Whitchurch concerning the future of the property.
