Helen Goodman – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Culture Media and Sport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Helen Goodman on 2014-04-07.

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how many heritage sites English Heritage has declined to take control of as custodian of last resort in the last 30 years; and what the reasons were for declining in each such case.

Mr Edward Vaizey

To the knowledge of its current management team, English Heritage has not declined to take control of any heritage sites as custodian of last resort in the last 30 years. English Heritage has occasionally been offered properties that it has declined on the basis that there were other more suitable solutions available.
