§ 25. Sir WILLIAM WAYLANDasked the Minister of Agriculture if it is the intention of the Government to deal with the question of tithes this Session?
§ Mr. ELLIOTThe position remains as indicated in the replies which I gave on 7th December last to questions on this subject by the hon. Member for Bodmin (Mr. Isaac Foot).
§ Sir W. WAYLANDIs not the Minister aware of the intensely bitter feelings of those farmers who are paying excessive tithe, which in many cases is more than the rent, and does he not think it neces- 794 sary in the interests of peace and justice to deal with the revision of the Act of 1925 this year?
§ Mr. ELLIOTI am afraid that I cannot enter into discussion of the merits of the case at present.
