Listed Buildings: Carbon Emissions

Asked by Stuart AndrewConservativeDepartment for Culture, Media and SportTabled Answered 13 January 2025UIN 21291

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions she department has had with the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero on the decarbonisation of listed buildings.

Answered by Chris Bryant

I have not held any such discussions, but my officials discuss this and other related issues as part of ongoing engagement with their DESNZ and MHCLG counterparts. In addition, in July, Historic England, the UK government's statutory advisor on England's historic environment, published guidance to support the decarbonisation of historic buildings.
