§ 3. Mr. Robert Cookeasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what steps he is taking to revise the lists of buildings of historic or architectural interest, to include the more important Victorian buildings; and to what extent he proposes to raise the grading of Victorian buildings already listed.
§ Mr. CorfieldThe standards upon which buildings of the period 1850 to 1914 are selected for listing were revised in 1960. Since then special steps have been taken to ensure that the most important Victorian buildings are added to the lists if not originally included, and that gradings are revised where appropriate.
§ Mr. CookeWill my hon. Friend keep this subject continually under review in view of the growing appreciation of building of that period?
§ Mr. CorfieldI assure my hon. Friend that the areas which have already been visited are being revisited with that in mind.
