HL Deb 28 July 1997 vol 582 c13WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the Rollright Stones, which are for sale, are fully protected against harmful development or exploitation.

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

The Rollright Stones are statutorily protected by virtue of their status as a scheduled ancient monument, which requires the owners to apply for scheduled monument consent from my right honourable friend the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport before carrying out any works affecting it.
