answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2019 answer text <p>Historic England, government’s statutory advisor on historic environment, compiles an annual Heritage at Risk Register. This indicates what steps the Government is taking to protect sites from decay and neglect, including those in the guardianship of English Heritage.</p><p> </p><p>The 2019 Register, which was published on 17th October 2019, gives an annual snapshot of the critical condition of some of the country’s most important historic buildings, sites, monuments and places. In total there are 5,073 entries on the 2019 Register, 87 fewer than in 2018.</p><p> </p><p>Throughout England, 310 sites have been removed from the Register because their future has been secured, often by community intervention and a partnership approach. Over the past year, Historic England has spent nearly £8.5m in grants on helping some of the country’s best loved and most important historic sites. This work continues, and we see many examples where bringing endangered historic sites and structures back to beneficial use has demonstrable economic and community benefits, and thus public value.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 22/10/2019 11:28:54 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

tabling member constituency	Walsall North

uin	1088
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2019 answer text <p>Setting executive pay is a matter for a charity’s trustees to determine, acting in the best interests of their charity. In doing so the charity trustees need to consider a number of factors, including securing value for money for the charity, and the impact of their decisions on public trust. The Charity Commission for England and Wales requires charities to include information on the number of staff receiving remuneration in excess of £60,000, in their Annual Return. This information will be published in income bands on the charity register. The Charity Commission also requires charities to include information on the remuneration of their highest paid staff member. It will use this data to make a study of pay in charities and will publish its findings, once that work is complete.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Loughborough answering member printed Nicky Morgan grouped question UIN 745 question first answered 22/10/2019 18:16:52 answering member 4027 label Biography information for Baroness Morgan of Cotes
