HC Deb 24 May 1909 vol 5 c828
Mr. LANE-FOX (for Viscount Helmsley)

asked the Prime Minister whether he has received a resolution from the Yorkshire Union of Agricultural Clubs urging the Government to renew the Agricultural Rates Act; and, if so, whether he is prepared now to give an undertaking to that effect?

The PRIME MINISTER

I have received a number of resolutions to the effect stated, and the matter is under consideration.

Mr. ARTHUR LEE

Will the Prime Minister say when he hopes to be in a position to make an announcement with regard to this very important matter?

The PRIME MINISTER

At no very distant date.
