HC Deb 30 June 1925 vol 185 c2244W
Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he can state the value of £100 of tithe rent-charge on the basis of the endurance for 15 years of present-day prices?

Mr. WOOD

Assuming the endurance for 15 years of the present-day prices of corn, the gross annual value of £100 of tithe rent-charge in perpetuity is estimated to be approximately £111.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether the procedure contemplated in Sub-section (1) of Section 8 of the Tithe Act of 1891, for the remission of tithe payments in certain cases has been employed, and has resulted in any reduction of tithe?

Mr. WOOD

I regret that I have no information as to the extent to which the procedure contemplated in the Subsection in question has been employed.
