§ Mr. EvansTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what representations he has received regarding the condition of Gwrych Castle; and if he will make a statement. [87987]
§ Mr. MichaelSince June 1997 I have received letters on six occasions (from three sources) expressing concern about the deteriorating condition of Gwrych Castle. It is privately owned but the ownership is presently subject to legal dispute. When this has been resolved, Cadw: Welsh Historic monuments would be willing to consider grant assistance towards a project to repair the fabric of this Grade 1 listed building.
Following the transfer of functions, CADW will be responsible to the National Assembly.
