HC Deb 04 May 1920 vol 128 c1920W
Mr. R. RICHARDSON

asked the Minister of Health whether he will introduce a Bill to repeal the Agricultural Rates Acts as, owing to the continuous increase in the rates, the operation of the Acts and the fixed contribution of the Government throw a serious burden on the general body of ratepayers?

Dr. ADDISON

I am unable to adopt the hon. Member's suggestion.
