BRITISH RATE RELIEF
APPORTIONMENT BILL 5 DEBATED (Australian Press Assn.—United Service.) London, June 18. Tn the House of Commons, Mr. B. Riley (Lab.) in Committee on the Rate Apportionment Bill, moved an amendment to omit agricultural hereditaments from relief. Agriculturists, he said, were already relieved of threequarters of their rates. Further relief would mean a total contribution of nineteen millions yearly out of the public purse. The Bill did not ensure actual relief. Even a cultivating farmer would receive relief. The debate was terminated by the application of the closure. The amendment was defeated by 226 to 124.
