HC Deb 16 October 1945 vol 414 c947W
Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that many tenants are being asked to pay tithes; and whether he will consider the desirability of abolishing such claims.

Mr. Dalton

Under the Tithe Act, 1936, only owners of land, or holders of long leases at less than rack rent, are liable to pay tithe redemption annuities. If a tenant receives a demand in error, he should return it to the Tithe Redemption Commission, giving them the landowner's name and address.
