HC Deb 07 July 2003 vol 408 c583W
Mr. Burstow

To ask the hon. Member for Middlesbrough, representing the Church Commissioners what data is(a) collected and (b) published by the Church Commissioners concerning the financial performance of each diocese. [123298]

Mr. Bell

None. However, the Archbishops' Council receives copies of the published financial statements of each diocese. The council, in line with its responsibility to monitor the overall financial needs and resources of the Church, is in regular dialogue with dioceses about a wide range of financial issues and the Commissioners take part in this dialogue as appropriate.
