HC Deb 26 May 1993 vol 225 cc599-600W
Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage when he last received a report from English Heritage on the current condition of(a) County hall and (b) Battersea power station.

Mr. Brooke

I have not received and do not expect any report from English Heritage on county hall while the building remains in good condition.

I received a report on Battersea power station in February following a further inspection by officers of English Heritage which showed no significant deterioration in its condition. I understand that a further inspection took place at the end of March and that English Heritage is expecting shortly to appoint consultant engineers to conduct a more detailed examination of the building.
