40. Mr. Baker

To ask the hon. Member for Middlesbrough, representing the Church Commissioners, what account the ethical investment working group takes of scripture in reviewing the commissioners' ethical investment policy. [86570]

The commissioners' ethical investment policy is exercised in the context of their duty to manage their inherited assets to provide financial support for the clergy of the Church of England, especially in area of need and opportunity.
