HC Deb 11 February 1980 vol 978 cc492-3W
Mr. Alton

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what factors were taken into account in deciding not to list the Jubilee Hall, Covent Garden as a building of architectural and historical importance.

Mr. Monro

Jubilee Hall was not found to merit listing when the Covent Garden area was comprehensively surveyed in 1972. The last Administration and this Government have reconsidered it on a number of occasions but the conclusion each time has been that it is of insufficient architectural or historic interest.
