HC Deb 11 July 1949 vol 467 c5W
Mr. Skeffington

asked the Minister of Works whether he is prepared to issue a short descriptive booklet about the ancient buildings and monuments supervised by his Department.

Mr. Key

A series of regional guides to ancient monuments and historic buildings in my Department's charge, which was begun before the war, is being reprinted and completed. A new volume on North Wales was published last October, a revised edition of that for South Wales will appear shortly, and the three others on England will be re-issued during the next few months. A volume on Scotland is in preparation. A general one-volume guide of a more popular type, to all monuments in the Ministry's charge, is being prepared and will, I hope, be on sale early next year.
