HC Deb 18 October 1993 vol 230 cc72-7W
Mr. Frank Field

To ask the right hon. Member for Selby, representing the Church Commissioners, if he will list the expenditure for each of the last 10 years on the residences of each bishop, diocesan area and suffragan.

Mr. Alison

The following figures for diocesan bishops' houses, which include both a chapel and office accommodation for the bishops' staff, show the total expenditure—capital and revenue—on each. The figures include expenditure on furnishings and gardens, but are net both of rental income for accommodation not occupied by the bishop and of sale proceeds of any surplus property.

Suffragan, area and full-time assistant bishops' houses also incorporate office accommodation. The figures include total expenditure borne by dioceses on periodical outgoings, e.g., rates, insurance and repairs, half of which are met by grants from the commissioners. Full details of all capital expenditure is not available, but capital grants made by the commissioners are included.
