Answer from Hansard

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (Stephanie Peacock)

Our listed buildings stand at the heart of our communities, and we are investing in heritage across the country with £230 million by 2030 to support listed buildings across England. That includes £75 million through the heritage at risk capital fund to support the repair and conservation of buildings at risk, and £92 million through the places of worship renewal fund for urgent repairs that keep buildings in use.
