28 Payment of stipends of dean or provost and two canons by Church Commissioners. E

(1) The Church Commissioners shall pay to the dean or provost of each cathedral church and to two residentiary canons of each cathedral church who are engaged exclusively on cathedral duties such sums by way of stipend or other emoluments as they may from time to time determine:

Provided that—

(a) if in any cathedral church there is only one residentiary canon who is engaged exclusively on cathedral duties or there are no residentiary canons so engaged, the obligation imposed on the Church Commissioners by this section shall be reduced accordingly until such time as a residentiary canon or a second residentiary canon, as the case may be, is appointed who is engaged exclusively on cathedral duties; and

(b) in determining the amount to be paid to any dean, provost or canon under this subsection, the Church Commissioners may take account of any other sums payable to the dean, provost or canon in right of his dignity.

(2) Where by virtue of paragraph (b) of the last foregoing subsection the Church Commissioners have reduced the amount of the payment made or to be made to any dean, provost or canon of a cathedral church, they may in any year pay into the capitular revenues of that cathedral church a sum equal to the amount by which the said payment was reduced as aforesaid.

(3) The capitular body of a cathedral church shall, notwithstanding anything in the constitution and statutes of the cathedral church, have power to pay to the dean or provost or to any redisentiary canon to whom the Church Commissioners are required to make a payment under subsection (1) of this section such additional stipend or other emoluments as they may think fit:

Provided that no payment shall be made by virtue of this subsection without the consent of the Church Commissioners.

29 Augmentation of stipends of canons holding office at passing of Measure. E

Where in the case of any cathedral church there is only one residentiary canon engaged exclusively on cathedral duties or where there are no residentiary canons so engaged, the Church Commissioners shall have power to make to any canon holding office in the cathedral church at the passing of this Measure such payments towards his stipend or emoluments as they may think fit, so, however, that the aggregate amount paid by the Church Commissioners under this section and the last foregoing section shall not exceed the amount which would have been payable under the last foregoing section if there had been two residentiary canons engaged exclusively on cathedral duties.

30 Payment towards expenses incurred by newly appointed deans, provosts and canons. E

34 Loans for acquisition and improvement of cathedral property. E

The Church Commissioners shall have power to make to the capitular body of any cathedral church loans of such amounts, and subject to the payment of interest at such rate, as they may think fit for the acquisition of any property, the erection of any building or the improvement, repair or alteration of any property, other than the cathedral church and buildings ancillary thereto.

35 Borrowing powers of capitular bodies. E

The capitular body of any cathedral church shall have power to borrow money for any purpose connected with the cathedral church:
