asked the Minister of Education, with reference to the Sophia Evans endowment of £32 10s. a year for the benefit of the Church School and the working girls of Presteigne, Radnor, at what date the scheme was first brought to the attention of the school managers; who authorised the expenditure of sums paid out since 1st January, 1941, and the first meeting of the managers in 1947; and to what objects these sums were applied.

The Scheme established for this Foundation on 16th December, 1927, later it would seem fell into oblivion. It is understood that a copy came to light about two years ago. In reply to the remainder of the Question I must refer my hon. Friend to my answer on the same subject on 2nd December to which I have nothing to add.
