HC Deb 13 December 1995 vol 268 c643W
Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when he last received a report on the condition of Battersea power station; what assessment his Department has made of the current state of the building's fabric; and what applications have been received for demolition. [5313]

Sir Paul Beresford

The Secretary of State for the Environment has received no reports on the condition of the building. The building is regularly inspected by English Heritage and was last inspected on 9 November 1995. I understand that the next visit is scheduled for 5 January next year. We have received no applications for demolition.
