To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what steps his Department is taking to protect heritage buildings.
Michael Ellis
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport
We are responsible for ensuring that England’s historic environment is properly protected, promoted and conserved for the benefit of present and future generations. The principle way in which Government protects buildings of special architectural or historic interest is through the listing system.
In addition, our arm’s length bodies provide valuable support to those looking after heritage and we continue to work closely with them to protect buildings all over the country.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
