HC Deb 17 May 1972 vol 837 c498
3. Mr. Mather

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what proposals he has received for the redevelopment of Leadenhall Market.

Mr. Peyton

None, Sir.

Mr. Mather

Will my right hon. Friend consider, if he should receive such prosals, the preservation of these unique buildings of Leadenhall Market? Would he bear in mind that the site of the Roman Basilica lies to the north of these buildings and in any redevelopment that takes place will he see that proper facilities are afforded for excavation and preservation of this unique Roman site in London?

Mr. Peyton

The last part of my hon. Friend's question is a matter for consideration between my Department and the City of London authorities. Certainly we will keep all his other points in mind if and when proposals for development are received.
