§ 40. Mr. RoweTo ask the hon. Member for Middlesbrough, representing the Church Commissioners, what representations he has received concerning the financial implications of the Churchwardens Measure; and if he will make a statement. [61381]
§ Mr. Stuart BellThe Church Commissioners have received no such representations, although I am aware that hon. Members have received representations on other aspects of the Measure. All such matters will no doubt be discussed when the Ecclesiastical Committee takes evidence on the Measure from General Synod witnesses on 15 December.
