HC Deb 23 May 1988 vol 134 c14W
31. Mr. Thurnham

To ask the right hon. Member for Selby, as representing the Church Commissioners what recent representations the Church Commissioners have received about the role of religious education in Church schools; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alison

None. The commissioners have no direct responsibility for religious education in Church schools, although they do have some indirect responsibilities through their support for some aspects of higher education.
