§ Mr. Newensasked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) how many tower mills, post mills, smock mills and other windmills, respectively, are known to be in existence in each county or equivalent local government area; and how many in each case are listed buildings;
(2) if he will list any tower mills, post mills, smock mills or other windmills which have been demolished during the course of the last two years.
§ Mr. ShoreThis information is not readily available in the Department and would be disproportionately costly to provide. There are over 230,000 listed buildings in England and they are not recorded by categories. I am, however, making enquiries to see whether information is available from other sources and will write to my hon. Friend.
