HC Deb 15 June 1995 vol 261 cc605-6W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage how many textile mills in Yorkshire are currently being considered for listing; and if he will name them. [27390]

Mr. Dorrell

There are currently no proposals before me concerning the listing of textile mills in Yorkshire. English Heritage is, however, undertaking a national thematic study of textile mills. It has recently published the results of the study for the Greater Manchester area for public consultation and work is well under way in respect of mills in Yorkshire.

Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage how many textile mills in Yorkshire are listed buildings; and if he will list them. [27391]

Mr. Dorrell

Until the statutory lists are computerised next year, a comprehensive list of textile mills in Yorkshire which are listed as being of special architectural or historic interest is not readily available. However, I have today placed in the Library a copy of a list of 106 mills and associated buildings in the country which are listed.
