§ 27. Mr. EDEasked the Minister of Agriculture if his attention has been directed to the difficulty of collecting 23 tithe and the unpopularity with which legal action for its recovery is covered; and what action he proposes to afford relief to the tithe payers?
§ Sir J. GILMOURI cannot undertake to introduce legislation relieving landowners of the liability of their property to tithe rentcharge.
§ Mr. EDEHas the right hon. Gentleman noticed the difficulties which arose last week; and does not he think that in the present inflamed state of public opinion in industrial districts it is a bad job to set such an example?
