§ Mr. McCrindleasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many applications to have buildings listed were made in 1970 and 1972, respectively; and what were the numbers of staff in his Department to consider such applications in those years.
§ Mr. ChannonNo record is kept of the many hundreds of applications received yearly but the number of buildings listed as a result is recorded. In 1970 and 1972, approximately 1,580 and 2,280 buildings were statutorily listed by individual emergency listing action, generally as a result of such applications.
The equivalent of six full-time officers—including investigators—were engaged in dealing with these applications in 1970 and 10 in 1972.
