Welsh Office

Question: If he will set up a public inquiry into the manner in which decisions were taken within the CADW organisation to facilitate the demolition of the Greenmeadow Inn.

Answer: Mr. Wigley: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will set up a public inquiry into the manner in which decisions were taken within the Cadw organisation to facilitate the demolition of the Greenmeadow inn. [18570] Mr. Hague: The case for listing the Greenmeadow inn, Rudry was carefully considered in the light of available evidence and with reference to policy guidance on listing. Criteria for the selection of listed buildings have been set out in Welsh Office circular 61/96, and before that in circular 61/81. My decision not to list the Greenmeadow inn was taken because it did not meet these criteria.
