§ 62. Rev. Ll. Williamsasked the Minister of Works what special licences for rebuilding have been issued to the Church of England in addition to its normal allocation; and whether the licence issued to All Hallows, Tower Hill, for a large amount of reconstruction was within, or in addition to the Church of England allocation.
§ Sir D. EcclesThe Church of England shares the block allocation of licences for church building which is administered over the country as a whole by the various churches area committees. The only exception to this procedure is the sum allotted to the London Diocesan Reorganisation Committee for the rebuilding of City churches.
On the recommendation of the London Diocesan Reorganisation Committee, All Hallows, Tower Hill, received in the years 1947–1952, £35,000 in licences, of which £4,351 was granted for specialist stonework and woodcarving, outside the block allocation.
