– Scottish Parliament written question – answered at on 7 November 2001.
Question S1W-19350
To ask the Scottish Executive (a) what checks and balances it intends to establish in relation to Historic Scotland and (b) how the built heritage will be protected, once the Historic Buildings Council for Scotland has been abolished.
Through Historic Scotland, the Scottish Executive is currently consulting on the proposal to abolish the Historic Buildings Council of Scotland as part of the Review of Public Bodies. Historic Scotland is the part of the Scottish Executive which supports Scottish ministers in carrying out their statutory responsibilities for the protection and presentation of Scotland’s built heritage. Historic Scotland is directly accountable to Scottish ministers and the checks and balances applied are the same as with any other equivalent Executive agency.
