HC Deb 18 March 1996 vol 274 c23W
Mr. John D. Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many buildings in each constituency in Northern Ireland are listed(a) grade I and (b) grade II; and what was the corresponding number in 1990. [20217]

Mr. Moss

Listed buildings in Northern Ireland are graded as grade A, B+ and B2 rather than grade I, II etc. The attached table gives the number of buildings currently listed as grade A and grade B+ in each constituency in Northern Ireland.

On 31 December 1990 the total number of buildings listed as grade A was 153 and the total number listed as grade B+ was 263. It is not however possible to provide a breakdown of these figures by constituency in the time available. I will therefore write to the hon. Gentleman and place a copy in the Library when the information becomes available.

Constituency Number of Grade A buildings Number of Grade B+ buildings
Foyle 6 15
East Londonderry 7 27
North Antrim 7 19
East Antrim 9 6
Mid Ulster 14 38
Fermanagh and South Tyrone 21 69
Upper Bann 3 14
Newry and Armagh 37 56
South Down 13 36
Strangford 6 11
