§ Mr. Kirkwoodasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will make available maps, showing the full extent of sites scheduled under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979, to local authorities involved in any planning or building applications on areas identified as scheduled sites.
§ Mr. AncramLocal authorities already have access to this information. For monuments scheduled before 1983, a complete list of monuments is given in the booklet "List of Ancient Monuments in Scotland", published by HMSO in 1983, which includes map references. For subsequent scheduling, the local authority in whose area a site is situated is provided with full details, including maps.
Any authority in doubt about the status of a given site can, of course, also consult my Department's Historic Buildings and Monuments Directorate.
