HC Deb 17 September 2004 vol 424 c1794W
Mr. Rosindell

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if she will make a statement on heritage economic regeneration schemes. [189226]

Mr. Caborn

English Heritage launched its Heritage Economic Regeneration scheme in 1999. Since then some £50 million has been invested in the regeneration of run down and deprived conservation areas. English Heritage has recently reviewed the scheme and it has been renamed Partnership Schemes in Conservation Areas. New applications will now be considered against regional priorities.
