HC Deb 16 July 1973 vol 860 cc35-6W
Mr. McLaren

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take steps to restore Hawksmoor's Christ Church, Spitalfields.

Mr. Channon

I understand the diocesan authorities are considering whether this church can again be used for public worship. The question of Government help must depend on the current discussions with the General Synod of the Church of England on the whole questions of aid for historic churches in use.
