Written Question
Religious Buildings: Scotland
Monday 9th March 2026

Asked by: Katrina Murray (Labour - Cumbernauld and Kirkintilloch)

Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, whether he has made representations to the Scottish Government on support for listed places of worship in Scotland, including Sacred Heart Parish Church in Cumbernauld, that have been unable to access equivalent funding to that available in England.

Answered by Kirsty McNeill - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Scotland Office)

We want to see Scotland's building and cultural heritage protected for future generations. Whilst heritage policy is a devolved matter, both Scotland Office and Department for Culture, Media and Sport Ministers are due to discuss this matter with officials from the Church of Scotland in the coming weeks.
