Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 January 2025

Debate

Listed Historic Buildings

Contribution

My Lords, I believe that every one of us has the incredible privilege to work in this listed historic building, but there are 4,891 listed buildings on the Heritage at Risk Register. Does the Minister agree that there really should be a successor scheme to the one she just referenced: Historic England’s high streets heritage action zones programme, which ran from 2020 to 2024? It unlocked the potential of 67 historic high streets, created social cohesion and drove economic growth, which is precisely what the Government want. Will she please commit to a successor scheme?
