Labour — Edinburgh South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 June 2026

Debate

UNESCO World Heritage Sites

Contribution

It is important that any new site put forward for UNESCO world heritage site status first goes through a robust national assessment process—and the issues that the right hon. Gentleman raises will be considered as part of that—before being put on the UK’s tentative list of prospective world heritage nominations. However, I am very happy to arrange a meeting with him to discuss what may have to be done to make that application as strong as possible.
