HC Deb 25 June 1973 vol 858 cc274-5W
Mr. George Cunnningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment who made the inspection of houses in Barnsbury Road and Copenhagen Street, Islington, to assess whether the houses should be listed; on what date the inspection took place; and which of the houses were entered by those carrying out the inspection.

Mr. Channon

These buildings were inspected early in April 1973 by one of the Department of the Environment's investigators of historic buildings. Most buildings are listed for their exterior interest and internal inspection is not usually necessary.

Mr. George Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many properties have been listed as of architectural or historic interest in the London Metropolitan area during 1973.

Mr. Channon

1,408 buildings in the Greater London area were added to the lists of buildings of special architectural or historic interest between 1st January and 22nd June 1973.
