HL Deb 22 October 1990 vol 522 c1231WA
Lord Denning

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether, having regard to the report of the Archbishops' Commission on Rural England, the Attorney-General will take steps to test the assumption of the diocesan authorities that all assets belong to the centre, as recommended in paragraph 11.19 of that report.

The Lord Chancellor (Lord Mackay of Clashfern)

The Attorney-General does not consider it necessary to take such steps in view of the express provision made by Parliament for these cases in Section 2 of the Education Act 1973.
