§ MR. BYRON REED (Bradford, E.)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury when the Tithe Rent-charge Bills will be introduced; and whether Her Majesty's Government, if they deem it difficult to carry the Bills of last year during the present Session, will be prepared to bring in a short Bill to facilitate the simple recovery of unpaid Tithe-Rent-charge?
§ *MR. W. H. SMITHI am sorry to say, Sir, it is not in my power to give my hon. Friend the information he desires; but if he will be so good as to repeat his question after Easter, I hope then to give him a satisfactory answer.
§ MR. H. GARDNERDo the Government intend to bring in the Bills this Session?
§ *MR. W. H. SMITHIf the hon. Member had listened to my answer, I think he would have gathered from it that such was certainly our intention.
