HC Deb 18 July 1899 vol 74 c1170
MR. CARVELL WILLIAMS (Notts., Mansfield)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture if he will state the amount of rates from which, under the Tithe Rent-charge (Rates) Bill, the clergy of the County of Surrey will be relieved, and also the sum Which will be payable on account thereof out of the Local Taxation Account.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE (Mr. LONG,) Liverpool, West Derby

The cost of the relief given to the clerical owners of tithe rent-charge in the County of Surrey is estimated to amount to between £1,700 and £1,800, and the share of the administrative county in a sum of £87,000 distributed in the proportion of what are known as the "discontinued grants," is approximately the same amount.
