§ 32. Mr. John MarshallTo ask the right hon. Member for Selby, as representing the Church Commissioners, how much the Church Commissioners spent on clergy stipends in the last financial year in respect of clergy serving St. Botolph's church, Aldgate, in the City of London.
§ Mr. AlisonI regret that this information is not available. Clergy stipends are, for the most part, paid out of diocesan stipends funds. The commissioners contribute to those funds by way of an annual allocation. The stipends of individual clergy are determined by the diocese.
