HC Deb 19 December 1988 vol 144 cc7-8W
74. Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the right hon. Member for Selby, as representing the Church Commissioners, if, since 28 November, the Church Commissioners have had any discussions with the authorities of the General Synod of the Church of England with a view to securing the amendment of the draft Care of Cathedrals Measure and enabling it to complete its passage through Synod in time to come before Parliament for consideration before 1 June 1989.

Mr. Alison

The progress of the draft Care of Cathedrals Measure is not a matter for the Commissioners. However, I understand that it is hoped to take the revision stage of this Measure at the February group of sessions of the General Synod. The final stage would then be taken in July.
