Cathedrals and Churches (Stained Glass)

HC Deb 13 April 1973 vol 854 cc377-8W

Mr. Crouch

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will provide funds for a programme of research work on the conservation of ancient stained glass in cathedrals and parish churches.

Mr. Channon

Although my right hon. and learned Friend is not responsible for cathedrals and parish churches, a number of the buildings in his own care contain stain glass. He is accordingly considering a contribution towards research on the conservation of ancient stained glass.
