HC Deb 11 March 2003 vol 401 c177W
Mr. Edward Davey

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many properties have been compulsorily purchased by English Heritage in each year since 1999.[101826]

Dr. Howells

English Heritage has not compulsory purchased any properties since 1999. It served a compulsory purchase order in that year, in respect of a property in the City of Westminster, but the owner commenced repair work and the order was put in abeyance. English Heritage has not served a compulsory purchase order since then.
