Question

To ask the Member for South West Bedfordshire, representing the Church Commissioners, what representations has he received on sex discrimination and misogyny in the Church of England.

I have received no direct representations in my capacity as Second Church Estates Commissioner. The National Church Institutions (NCIs) have a Belonging and Inclusion Strategy, which aims to make sure that the NCI workforce represent the diversity of the nation that the Church of England serves, at all levels including the most senior, so that everyone in the NCIs feels that they belong, are valued for who they are and what they contribute, and are supported to develop and flourish.
