Question

To ask the hon. Member for Battersea, representing the Church Commissioners, what formal processes exist to (a) identify and (b) manage conflicts of interest during senior Church appointments where safeguarding concerns have been raised.

I refer the Hon Member for Tewkesbury to the previous answer UIN 108535
In addition, all those involved in Crown Nominations Commissions (CNCs) are asked to declare any conflicts of interest, with professional advice sought and appropriate action taken to address any impacts where they arise.
