§ Mr. Sandysasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the amount currently available for grants made on the advice of the Historic Buildings Council for England.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerThe amount available for such grants in England is being increased from £700,000 to £1,000,000 a year with immediate effect. This is by far the biggest single increase in both percentage or actual money terms since the level of these grants was first fixed in 1959.
