Cultural Heritage
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to support private stewards who manage significant national patrimony in private hands.
Answered by Ian Murray
Historic England, the government’s statutory advisor on the historic environment, provides a wide range of resources and support to private owners of historic buildings, on matters from energy efficiency to maintenance to helping owners secure the most appropriate insurance for their properties. In addition, the planning reforms on which the government is consulting will make it easier for owners to make appropriate changes to buildings.
