To ask His Majesty's Government which Minister will represent the United Kingdom at the 46th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in New Delhi.

No Minister represented the United Kingdom at the 46th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in New Delhi, as the timing of the Committee coincided with the appointment of new Ministers and confirmation of their portfolios.

However a delegation comprising officials from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and Historic England, as well as the UK’s Ambassador to UNESCO, have attended and represented the UK at the Committee, and kept Ministers updated on relevant issues.
