§ Mr. Alan DuncanTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (1) whether(a) owners and (b) tenants will be informed in writing if their properties are to be listed on the Images of England website being established by English Heritage; [40838]
(2) what representations she has received on the publication of details of listed private properties on the Images of England website and (a) the Data Protection Act 1998 and (b) the ECHR; [40839]
(3) whether owners and tenants may permanently remove their property from the Images of England website being set up by English Heritage to catalogue listed buildings. [40840]
§ Dr. HowellsEnglish Heritage undertook a comprehensive and successful series of regional press campaigns to publicise the "Images of England" project. They made it clear that it was their intention to photograph every building on the statutory list for the project; owners or occupiers will not therefore be informed individually. Owners who do not wish their building to appear should contact English Heritage, but they should bear in mind that information on every listed building is already in the public domain. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has received two letters about Data Protection and Human Rights legislation in this context.
