Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 December 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

It is certainly true that there has been a big focus on Stonehenge, and I know that the hon. Gentleman, as the local Member, has been anxious to be at the forefront of that. He will know that the stakeholders' group met yesterday. It is a question not of whether Stonehenge will, as a site, be improved, protected and made more accessible, but of where the visitors centre will be, and of knocking heads together to ensure proper agreement. It is not that the Government have been holding back, but that we need to work with all the stakeholders to agree where the visitors centre should be.
