There are approximately 650 parochial appointments in the gift of the Crown, of which patronage for around 450 is exercised on the Crown's behalf by the Lord Chancellor. In some cases, the patronage right is shared in turn with other patrons of the benefice; 103 of those appointments are held by women.

There is clearly still some way to go. Does the hon. Gentleman agree with me that it really is time that the Church of England stopped discriminating against 50 per cent. of the human race when it comes to episcopal appointments? Can he imagine this House finding it expedient to agree to any Measure from Synod that sought to discriminate against women, in the hope that it was going to allow women bishops in the Church of England—but not at any price?

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for his comments. He will remember that this House voted almost unanimously, but certainly overwhelmingly, for women priests way back in 1992. Given that he is a member of the General Synod, he will know that in July it will look at the options for progressing the ordination of women as bishops, informed by the recently published report of the legislative drafting group, chaired by the Bishop of Manchester. This House—in its majority, I think—supports women bishops and we urge the Church in this case to make haste less slowly.

The hon. Member for New Forest, East (Dr. Lewis) has made that point on numerous occasions. The Cabinet Office continues to work on the agenda of better regulation, civil contingencies, transformation in Government public services, and modernisation, regardless of how many Ministers are in the Cabinet Office.
My hon. Friend the Member for Bolsover (Mr. Skinner), as ever, offers good advice from a sedentary position as regards the use of public finances for political purposes. There has been a vast increase in the amount of Short money used for the Conservative Opposition, spent entirely ineffectively, unaccountably and with no discernible outcome. In future, we should cast a more careful eye over the way in which taxpayers' money is used to subsidise unpopular political parties.

Does the Minister recall that before the general election we had a separate Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, both at great public expense that was not revealed until after the election was over? Now that it is no longer required to pay so much money to someone to run a general election campaign, does the Minister accept that it is likely that the Prime Minister will use his patronage to appoint new Ministers to the Duchy of Lancaster and the Cabinet Office rather more slowly than my hon. Friend the Member for Witney (Mr. Cameron) will use his powers of patronage to appoint an entire new Front-Bench team?

In May this year, the then Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster reputedly used his power of eminence bleu patronage to secure a peerage and ministerial post for an unelected No. 10 adviser, Andrew Adonis, who was the progenitor of privatised city academies and the author of the barmier ideas in the recent education White Paper, including divisive and elitist trust schools. Given that track record, does the Minister agree that the next Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster should divest herself—[Hon. Members: ““Oh.””]—of every scintilla of patronage and influence on Government appointments at a very early stage in her career?

I thank my hon. Friend for that helpful question and that vote of confidence. The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster takes responsibility on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen as patron, either solely or jointly, of 42 Church livings. The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster also presents suitable candidates to the bishop of the diocese and has power over ancient livings. I have been informed that there are two such livings in Leicestershire—one in Whitwick and one in Thringstone. The living in Thringstone is currently vacant, and I will do all that I can in conjunction with my ministerial colleagues to suggest that a suitable candidate is sitting on the Back Benches.

Unfortunately, we have to live with the curse of patronage. There are 30,000 public appointments, many of the most important of which—the chairman of the BBC, for example—are made using patronage powers. Before such appointments are made, would it not be a good idea to have confirmation hearings, here in the House of Commons, along the lines of those in the Senate?

If we were to subject all those appointments to some sort of confirmation process in the House of Commons—
The Government are not attracted to that suggestion. We have set up a process according to which there is an independent commissioner for public appointments and all appointments are made in line with that code of practice. There is also a new House of Lords Appointments Commission. I think that we have got the balance about right as regards the way in which these matters are handled. However, if my hon. Friend has specific suggestions about some of the detail, ministerial colleagues and I would be happy to listen to him.

That point was made recently in another place. The Civil Contingencies Secretariat is closely monitored and works in partnership with Ministers across Government. The Home Secretary is the lead Minister responsible for a lot of the responses to emergency crises and contingencies. I shall take this opportunity to thank those involved in that secretariat for their fantastic work with Ministers across Government.

I am glad that the sole incumbent of the Cabinet Office believes that the ancient livings patronage is in good hands. Does he believe that consideration by the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster of matters such as patronage might interfere with other duties, such as control and responsibility for the Civil Contingencies Secretariat? Might not people in this country be rather surprised that nobody has been in charge of emergency planning during what we are told is a war on terrorism for nearly five weeks?
