Topical Questions

Question
York's designation as an area of archaeological importance protects the unique and irreplaceable archaeological remains below the city's streets from being dug up by public utility companies. The York-based Council for British Archaeology and the York Archaeological Trust are worried that the designation could be changed in the new heritage Bill. Will the Minister be willing to meet me, and archaeologists from York, to discuss our concerns?
Answer

I would be extremely happy to meet my hon. Friend; in fact, I have a date in my diary for 15 December.
