The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to support religious organisations to make repairs to listed buildings in Scotland.

Answered by Ian Murray

Heritage is a devolved competence, however some funders operate across the UK. To ensure continued support for listed places of worship across the UK, we are working with sector funders to maximise opportunities for all nations. The National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) remains a vital resource, offering grants across the UK and investing £100 million over three years in places of worship. This includes a strategic initiative designed to provide targeted support and build capacity, ensuring that places of worship in Scotland have access to investment.
