To ask the right hon. Member for Selby, representing the Church Commissioners, if he will list the number of dioceses which (a) paid and (b) were unable to pay their full quota to central church funds for each of the last 10 years; and if he will express (a) as a percentage of (b).

To ask the right hon. Member for Selby, representing the Church Commissioners, if he will list the number of parishes which were unable to meet their quota for each of the last 10 years; and if he will present these totals as a percentage of all parishes.

This is not a matter for the Commissioners; parish quotas are payable to dioceses and details are not held centrally.
