Question

Why there has been no contribution to funding the improvements now necessary within the Stonehenge World Heritage Site from the Lottery or the Millennium Funds; and whether, in the light of the damage to the site identified in the 1998 Report to the Highways Agency from Messrs Halcrow as deriving from the 'Master Plan', they will now seek funding sufficient for the improvements to which English Heritage and the National Trust committed themselves in 1995; and whether, as stated in the Halcrow Report, Ministers decided in November 1997 that the improvements to the Stonehenge World Heritage Site to which English Heritage and the National Trust had committed themselves in 1995 should not be supported; and if so, on what advice that decision was taken. [HL 4667] [HL 4668]. - Includes figures.
