HC Deb 21 May 1997 vol 294 c70W
Sir Peter Lloyd

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what steps he plans to take to ensure that the fullest practicable archaeological investigation is made of the original Globe Theatre site.[605]

Mr. Banks

When the Globe's remains were discovered in 1989, part of the site was excavated and fully recorded. English Heritage is prepared to consider the case for further archaeological investigations beneath the basement of Anchor Terrace, provided it can be shown convincingly that there is a high probability of discovering valuable and particular information about the Globe as a result.
