HC Deb 13 December 1989 vol 163 cc710-1W
30. Mr. Hayward

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects to announce a decision about the scheduling of the Globe theatre.

Mr. Trippier

Having considered the advice of his professional advisers English Heritage and representations received, my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has today included the remains of the recently discovered Globe theatre on the schedule of ancient monuments. I should like to acknowledge the leading part which the developers, Hanson, played in financing the archaeological excavation which led to the discovery of the remains.
