§ Mr. FauldsTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether lists of historic buildings have yet been fully compiled.
§ Mrs. Virginia BottomleyThe national resurvey of listed buildings, which began in 1970, is virtually complete. Three areas have still to be resurveyed: Isle of Lundy; the parishes of Bracebridge Heath, Canwick, Heighinton, Washingborough in Lincolnshire; and the parish of Southwell in Nottinghamshire, and six areas are in the process of being resurveyed. A further 50 lists are being prepared for publication. To date a total of 1,757 resurvey lists have been published. Some of the lists produced during the early years of the resurvey have been found to be deficient in various respects. English Heritage will be reviewing them over the next few years.
