HC Deb 22 July 1943 vol 391 c1091W
Major Lloyd

asked the Home Secretary how many churches and chapels have been destroyed or damaged in Great Britain by enemy bombing since the war began; and how many of these churches were Roman Catholic?

Mr. H. Morrison

There are no separate statistics relating solely to churches and chapels, but I understand that the War Damage Commission have received notification of damage in respect of 13,895 churches, monasteries, convents and other ecclesiastical buildings, exclusive of schools, vicarages or residential buildings. The statistics do not distinguish between Romar Catholic and other buildings.
