§ Mr. McMasterTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) if he will designate the Wallace monument in Elderslie as a national monument; and if he will make a statement;
(2) if he will publish a table showing all listed buildings in the Paisley, South constituency, their location, their category listing and the reason for their listing.
§ Sir Hector MonroThe subject of the question relates to matters undertaken by Historic Scotland. I have asked its chief executive, Mr. Graeme Munro, to arrange for a reply to be given.
760WLetter from Graeme Munro to Mr. Gordon McMaster, dated 1 July 1994:
I refer to your written Questions to the Secretary of State, for answer on 24 June, regarding listed buildings in the Paisley South constituency and the Wallace Monument at Elderslie.Copies of the lists for Paisley Burgh and the remainder of Renfrew District were enclosed with my letter of 19 May 1993 in reply to your previous Question about listed buildings (see Official Report, Vol. 225, col. 215). There have been some additions to and deletions from the statutory lists since that date and I enclose copy extracts to add to the lists you already have. I have also deposited this information in the House of Commons Library.You have asked that the Wallace monument at Elderslie be designated as a national monument. It is already listed as a building of special architectural or historic interest. Among the set of list descriptions you already have you will find a copy of the list description for the Wallace monument in Elderslie which was listed category B on 10 June 1971. For each of reference, I enclose another copy of the description.
