Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether her Department has made a recent assessment of the adequacy of safety and security at national heritage sites.

His Majesty’s Government is committed to protecting the historic environment for the benefit of present and future generations, working closely with its public bodies to ensure that heritage sites in state ownership have adequate safety and security. Responsibility for such issues at other heritage sites rests with their owners or occupiers.
