uin	281726
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2019 answer text <p>The wrecks in question – the SMS Kronprinz Wilhelm, SMS Konig, SMS Markgraf and SMS Karlsruhe – lie within Scapa Flow, Orkney. They are protected as scheduled monuments under the terms of the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979. Designation of scheduled monuments is a devolved matter for the Scottish Government and it has given responsibility for this to Historic Environment Scotland.</p><p> </p><p>Many scheduled monuments are owned privately and their ownership can change. This does not change their protected status. The proposed sale of the wrecks by their current owner does not change the fact that they are scheduled monuments. Permission to undertake works to the Scapa Flow wrecks will continue to require the prior written consent of Historic Environment Scotland.</p><p> </p><p>Historic Environment Scotland and the Scottish Government is considering changing the designation of the wrecks from scheduled monuments to a Historic Marine Protected Area, a designation which was introduced in Scotland by the Marine (Scotland) Act 2010. A public consultation about this proposal has recently taken place and the results will be published soon. Decisions about designating Historic Marine Protected Areas are taken by Scottish Ministers.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 05/09/2019 15:13:20 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
