HC Deb 18 March 1985 vol 75 c338W
Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he now expects restoration work at Edlingham castle to be completed; and at what total cost to public funds.

Mr. Macfarlane

The Historical Buildings and Monuments Commission is now responsible for the management and maintenance of Edlingham castle. I understand that the consolidation works now being carried out are proceeding satisfactorily, and that the commission expects the final cost to be less than that originally estimated. If the hon. Member would like further details, he may wish to approach the chairman of the Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission.
