HC Deb 28 November 1988 vol 142 c67W
77. Mr. Harry Greenway

To ask the right hon. Member for Selby, as representing the Church Commissioners, how much money the Church Commissioners expect cathedral authorities to raise for the maintenance of their fabric and towards their running costs; how much is contributed to each of these costs by the Church Commissioners; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alison

Each cathedral is independently responsible for raising the money required for the maintenance and repair of the cathedral's fabric. The Commissioners give the cathedral authorities some assistance with staff salaries and clergy housing.
