HC Deb 28 March 1955 vol 539 c27
46. Mr. Parkin

asked the hon. Member for Finchley, as representing the Church Commissioners, how much liquid capital the Commission have at present awaiting investment; and what schemes are being considered for investing it.

Sir J. Crowder

None, Sir.

Mr. Parkin

Will the Commissioners continue to bear in mind their obligation to house the lower income groups in view of the fact that they were very proud, in the first place, of their achievement in erecting Dibdin House? They seem to have lost that initiative and enthusiasm since the war.

Sir J. Crowder

Our enthusiasm is undimmed in doing what we can both to produce a fair income for the clergy and as regards the housing position of all our tenants.
