HC Deb 28 January 1980 vol 977 c535W
Mr. Thompson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will review the present rules for the listing of buildings so that owners' rights are better protected.

Mr. Monro

I appreciate the problems of owners whose properties are listed at a late stage in their plans for development. We hope to include in our new legislation provisions which will give owners an opportunity of overcoming this difficulty.
