<p>It is not possible to give a cumulative figure for expenditure on public affairs
for the Church of England, as each National Church Institution, diocese and parish
is a separate charity and this information is not collected.</p><p>At a national level
public affairs functions are not limited to a specific branch of the National Church
Institutions. The Faith and Public Life team of the Archbishop’s Council (formerly
MPA: the Mission and Public Affairs Division) handles much of the Church of England’s
national engagement with Government, Parliament and policymakers but also has responsibility
for work that is not public affairs. In the transition from MPA to the Faith and Public
Life team under the Transforming Effectiveness process, the total number of NCI staff
working in those public affairs roles has been cut.</p><p>The Archbishops’ Council
