HC Deb 15 January 1990 vol 165 c59W
51. Mr. Harry Greenway

To ask the right hon. Member for Selby, as representing the Church Commissioners, what funds the Church Commissioners devote to helping(a) refugees and (b) other immigrants; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alison

None, because the Commissioners' funds are not by law available for those purposes. Their primary duty is the support of the full-time parochial ministry of the Church of England and the bulk of their income is used for that purpose.

Forward to
