§ 28. Mr. Parkerasked the Minister of Works whether he was consulted about the future of Hartlebury Castle; and whether he has taken any action in the matter.
§ Lord John HopeNo, Sir. As is required by the Episcopal Endowments and Stipends Measure, 1943, the Church Commissioners consulted the Ancient Monuments Board for England on proposals for work at Hartlebury Castle. The Board offered certain advice which the Commissioners did not accept. There is no provision for me to be consulted or to intervene.
