§ Mr. Topeasked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) what plans he has to list Tyneham House in Dorset as an historic building; and if it is to be 143W open to the public at regular visiting times;
(2) what work and expenditure has been authorised in respect of the repair and restoration of Tyneham House in Dorset.
§ Mr. ChannonI have no plans to list what remains of this house. Some first-aid repairs to make the mediaeval hall safe, and on a short-term basis to prevent further deterioration of the timbers, are planned to take place during August this year when the ranges are not in use for firing. Any question of its being opened to the public is for my right hon. and noble Friend the Secretary of State for Defence.
