HC Deb 24 February 1993 vol 219 c580W
Mrs. Anne Campbell

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what plans he has to transfer the responsibility for grade I listed buildings from English Heritage to local authorities.

Mr. Brooke

English Heritage's forward strategy, published last October, proposed certain changes to responsibilities for grade II listed building and conservation area casework in London. Revised proposals have recently been put to me following public consultation, and I am considering them. The strategy proposed no change in current responsibilities for grade II buildings outside London.
