From New Zealand-The Queen needs more information on how the Christ Church Cathedral could be saved, campaigners say.
Prime Minister John Key met the Queen this week on a trip to Britain. The Queen wanted to speak to him about the Christ Church Cathedral because she has received letters raising concern about its future.
Key said he had taken the Queen through engineering assessments and reports showing why the building could not be saved.
"All I'll be able to do is give her the same reassurance I give Cantabrians, that if we could save the church we would, but on the best advice we've had so far that church can't be saved because of the damage."
Key said he understood the Queen's desire for reassurance "but at the end of the day the Queen isn't an engineer and neither am I, so she won't be able to override the engineering advice we've had".
The Queen is the nominal head of the Anglican Church in Britain, but not New Zealand.
