84. Mrs. Jegerasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs why the remains of St. Peter's Church, Regents Square, W.C.1, are listed as a scheduled building; what arrangements exist for their repair and preservation; and to what use it is intended to put the church.
§ Mr. H. BrookeThe church has been listed on account of its architectural interest as a good example of the Greek revival style. I understand that the church authorities made proposals in 1952 for its restoration and use as a church, but withdrew them following objections from the St. Pancras Borough Council. Since then the church authorities have been seeking to find some other use for the building which might lead to its restoration or, at least, to the preservation of the portico.
