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 The Pastoral (Amendment) Measure 1994 was repealed by the Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011 (2011 No.3) and the operation of the Churches Conservation Trust is now governed by section 57 of, and Schedule 5 to,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