§ Mr. Heddleasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will establish a register in order to establish the number of prosecutions brought against those responsible for the deliberate demolition of listed buildings under sections 55 and 57 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1971 and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Heseltine[Pursuant to his reply, 26 January 1981, c. 342]: Information of this sort is already collected by the Home Department and the maintenance of a separate register would not be justified. If my hon. Friend is concerned about any particular cases, I shall be pleased to receive his representations.
