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

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with Westminster Council over providing listed status for any gas lamps that are currently not listed.

Historic England, the Government’s statutory advisor on heritage, is in discussions with Westminster City Council about this matter and is currently undertaking a project assessing Westminster’s unlisted gas-lit lamp-posts. These listing applications will be carefully considered by the Secretary of State, or me on her behalf.
