1969 c. 22. The Pastoral Measure 1968 (No. 1) established the Redundant Churches Fund and section 13(1) of the Pastoral (Amendment) Measure 1994 (No. 1) changed the name of the Redundant Churches Fund to the Churches Conservation Trust. The effect of section 13(2) of the 1994 Measure is to require the reference to the Redundant Churches Fund in section 1(1) of the Redundant Churches and other Religious Buildings Act 1969 to be construed as a reference to the Churches Conservation Trust. The 1994 Measure was repealed by section 111 of, and Schedule 9 to, the Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011 (No. 3) and the operation of the Churches Conservation Trust is now governed by section 57 of, and Schedule 5 to, the 2011 Measure (as amended by paragraph 19(7) of Schedule 2 to the Church of England (Miscellaneous Provisions) Measure 2014 (No. 1) and section 8 of the Mission and Pastoral etc. (Amendment) Measure 2018 (No. 4)).
