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

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the listing of established historic racecourses as areas of historic interest or value.

While no specific assessment of racecourse buildings has been carried out, racecourses are well represented on the National Heritage List for England, with around 40 listed examples of associated grandstands, pavilions and racing stables. Many of these have been recognised for their historic associations and interest, among the oldest being the Grade II* listed Grandstand at York racecourse dating from 1755.
