§ Mr. Paul MarsdenTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport for how long the English Heritage grant will be available for the Flaxmill project in Shrewsbury; and if he will make a statement. [125945]
§ Mr. Alan HowarthThe English Heritage grant will be available as long as it is needed to get this important project off the ground. English Heritage grants are normally time limited and conditional on works starting within six months, and being completed within two years, of the date of offer. However, in this case English Heritage have agreed to hold their grants offer open in the hope that their funding partners will be able to find their share of the funds needed to secure the future of this Grade I listed building at risk.
