§ Mr. Fieldasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the total number of listed buildings; what proportion are listed as grade I; and if he will estimate the percentage of all buildings which have listed status at the latest available date.
§ Mr. MacfarlaneAt 31 December 1982 there were 287,744 buildings in England listed as being of special architectural or historic interest, of which 5,418 or around 2 per cent. were listed as grade I. I have no detailed information on the percentage of all buildings which are listed, but the figure is likely to be less than 1 per cent.
