39. Mr. L. WILLIAMSasked (1) the Prime Minister whether, having regard to the fact that the Welsh Church Act, 1914, should come into operation at the conclusion of the War after an Order in Council has been made to that effect, that the price of tithe will go up from £109 to £123 next year, and that the Tithe Bill will injuriously affect the financial position of the Welsh county councils, he will advise an Order in Council that the Welsh Church Act should come into operation this year; and
(2) the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is prepared to make a statement as to the reopening of the financial Clauses of the Welsh Church Act, 1914?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI am not yet in a position to make any statement on this subject.
