49. Colonel NEWMANasked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that, as a protest against the assessment to rates of tithe-rent charge, rural clergymen are allowing their goods to be distrained on; and will he say whether the Government intends to introduce legislation during the present Session to deal with the question?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINA Bill dealing with this question will be presented this afternoon by the Parliamentary Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries.
