The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether the Government has submitted a report to UNESCO on the state of the Tower of London World Heritage Site.

Answered by Chris Bryant

I can confirm that DCMS, as the State Party to the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, submitted a State of Conservation Report for the Tower of London World Heritage Site to UNESCO in November 2024, at UNESCO’s request. The executive summary of this report is published online: https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/488/documents/

We expect the report to be considered by members of the World Heritage Committee at the annual committee meeting in July 2025.
