Mr Paul Sweeney (Glasgow North East) (Lab/Co-op)
Two fires in the last three months have destroyed three listed buildings in Glasgow, and over 100 listed buildings in Glasgow are at risk, so will the Minister engage with the Treasury and ensure they restore VAT relief on the renovations of listed buildings in this country?
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (Michael Ellis)
Of course tax is a matter for the Treasury, but we are always looking at ways to protect and conserve our historic and heritage buildings; they are crucially important to all of us and we will always look to do that.
