HC Deb 10 November 1998 vol 319 cc124-5W
Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport when the Government will announce their list of prospective world heritage sites to be put forward by the UK to UNESCO for consideration. [59019]

Mr. Alan Howarth

Together with Ministerial colleagues in the other interested Departments, my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State and I will need carefully to consider the results of the current consultation exercise before reaching a final decision on the list; but I hope that an announcement can be made within the next two or three months.
