HC Deb 16 December 1969 vol 793 c261W
38. Miss Quennell

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will now take steps to give additional help to the owners of buildings of special historic and architectural interest following the recommendations contained in the 16th Annual Report of the Historic 13uildings Council for England.

Mr. Skeffington

The amount in grant for outstanding buildings available on the advice of the Historic Buildings Council has been increased from £550,000 to £575,000 this year. The whole problem of financial aid for owners of historic buildings is being considered by the Preservation Policy Group under my noble Friend Lord Kennet's chairmanship and they will be advising my right hon. Friend on it.
