HC Deb 14 March 1994 vol 239 c541W
35. Mr. Roger Evans

To ask the right hon. Member for Selby, representing the Church Commissioners, what steps the Church Commissioners are taking to ensure that theological colleges which receive their financial support comply with the law in respect of canon C7.

Mr. Alison

This is not a matter for the Church Commissioners. The cost of training is met from General Synod and other funds, not from the commissioners. The training of candidates for ordination is carried out under the direction of the House of Bishops, which is advised by the Advisory Board of Ministry.
