	uin	245735
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/04/2019 answer text <p>Government does not have a central repository of 3D laser maps that record historic buildings. However, Historic England (HE) have taken steps to record the most notable historic buildings. The HE Geospatial Survey team have created and hold data for 101 historic sites, of which 55 are English Heritage properties. Notable sites that have complete laser scans include Stonehenge, Ironbridge and Harmondsworth Barn. There are a number of buildings in Shrewsbury that have been scanned and mapped. These include Shrewsbury Old Market Hall, the Charles Darwin statue and the Catholic Cathedral and sections of the town wall, by Arrol and Snell. Ironbridge, already noted, is just outside the constituency and is one of the notable sites which has had complete laser scan coverage.</p><p> </p><p>There are more than 400,000 buildings and monuments on the National Heritage List for England, the vast majority in private ownership. It is likely that only a small fraction of these have been subject to comprehensive laser or photogrammetric survey of any kind. Such surveys that do exist are likely to be held by the owners and organisations carrying out the work.</p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 30/04/2019 11:42:47 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis

Local authorities can allow or prohibit organised events in their local area, but decisions should be made in discussion with event organisers on a case-by-case basis, with consideration given to both the risks and the mitigations in place as well as the economic and social benefits that events offer to local communities. Any objections to a particular event by a local authority should be based on clear evidence that points to inadequate alignment with guidance or government restrictions, or to the absence of a comprehensive risk assessment.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>As part of our efforts to get larger events back in full operation, we will launch the Events Research Programme to explore when and how all events can proceed with reduced social distancing requirements.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government’s COVID-Secure guidance for the visitor economy will be kept up to date over the coming months, in line with the reopening of the sector.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 15/04/2021 13:21:15 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
