§ 61. Mr. GRANVILLEasked the Minister of Agriculture if he is aware of the growing dissatisfaction with the position of tithe payment in relation to agriculture; and if he is prepared to receive a representative deputation on this problem?
§ The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Dr. Addison)Tithe rentcharge is a landowner's liability and is taken into consideration on the occasion of the acquisition of property. I am unaware of any ground for relieving such owners of their legal obligation in the matter, and, in the absence of further information, I do not think that a deputation would serve any useful purpose.
