European Architectural Heritage Year

HC Deb 04 March 1975 vol 887 cc359-60W

Mr. Robert Cooke

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what part his Department will play in European Architectural Heritage Year 1975.

Mr. Hugh Jenkins

Departmental responsibility for activities associated with European Architectural Heritage Year rests primarily with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment. In my own field of responsibility the Victoria and Albert Museum recently held an exhibition designed to awaken public interest in the preservation of country houses. The museum is now arranging for the exhibition to tour the provinces.
