§ 54. Mr. OUTHWAITEasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of prevailing popular sentiment, and the need of land for the settlement of discharged soldiers, he will take steps for the restoration to the community of land held by the Church of England by way of a measure of disendowment?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe answer is in the negative.
§ Mr. OUTHWAITEWill the right hon. Gentleman take into consideration the fact that the clergy have been excepted for military service, and is not this a very good reason for the land being taken from those who have not fought for its defence for the use of those who have?
