§ 18. Sir Sydney ChapmanTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what initiatives he has(a) taken recently and (b) plans to take to conserve the built heritage of Wales. [31664]
§ Mr. Gwilym JonesMy right hon. Friend and the Secretary of State for National Heritage have recently presented our consultation document, "Protecting our Heritage", which seeks views on a wide range of issues relating to the built heritage. We hope that responses will help shape our policies in this important field into the next millennium. In addition, new planning guidance for Wales has been published, setting out the planning framework which we expect will underpin the protection of the built heritage. Both documents are available in the Library of the House.
