tabling member constituency	Shrewsbury and Atcham
tabling member printed	Daniel Kawczynski
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

Clawback is generated over a 7 year period following completion of build implementation, based on customer take-up of service. Current estimates project take-up clawback to be at least £712m over this 7 year period. Some of this clawback has been returned early by agreement with the suppliers, and this is being reinvested.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 25/04/2019 13:44:19 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
