§ Sir P. Hurdasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works and Buildings what exactly is being done to obtain proper records of architecturally valuable buildings which are liable to be damaged by enemy action in Great Britain?
§ Mr. HicksA National Buildings Record has been set up to index existing records of architecturally valuable buildings and to fill in the gaps which the index reveals. It will also record any historical or structural evidence which damage may disclose. The record is administered by an advisory council, of which the Master of the Rolls is chairman. The Minister of Works is represented on the council and a contribution is made from public funds towards the expenses of the record.
