answer text <p>I refer to the answer I gave to <a href="http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Commons/2015-01-27/222328/" target="_blank">Written Question 222328</a>. Each Parochial Church Council is an independent legal entity and no central record is kept relating to the number of claims made against lay rectors for the recovery of chancel repair liability as this is dealt with at a local parish level. The Church Commissioners are only aware of the case where the Parochial Church Council of Aston Cantlow and Wilmcote with Billesley was awarded £187,000 plus VAT.</p><p> </p> more like this
