There is no direct cost to the Church Commissioners in relation to my duties in Parliament as Second Church Estate Commissioner.

Mr. Wallace

To ask the right hon. Member for Selby, as representing the Church Commissioners, what was the cost to the Church Commissioners of answering written and oral questions to the Second Church Estate Commissioner in the last two parliamentary Sessions and in the present Session, up to and including 27 July.

Mr. Alison

A total of 79 questions were answered between 1 October 1991 and 27 July this year, but it has not been the Commissioners' practice to keep a record of the cost.
