HC Deb 09 March 1936 vol 309 c1788
32. Mr. THORNE

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether it is his intention to recommend to county court bailiffs to refrain from taking action against tithe-payers in arrears or who refuse to pay their tithe until the Government have dealt with the Tithe Commission Report?

Mr. ELLIOT

The execution of orders made by county courts under the Tithe Act, 1891, for the recovery of tithe rent-charge in arrear is a matter for the courts, and I have no authority to intervene.
