§ 24. Sir David Priceasked the hon. Member for Wokingham, as representing the Church Commissioners, how many churches are currently redundant; and what are the prospects of finding alternative uses for them.
§ Sir William van StraubenzeeAt 31 December 1983 there were 137 redundant churches for which a suitable alternative use was being sought by diocesan authorities. Based on past achievement I would expect that a suitable use will in the end be found for rather more than half.
