Stonehenge

Volume 460: debated on Tuesday 22 May 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport when work will commence on the Stonehenge Visitors Centre; and if she will make a statement. (138404)

Planning consent was granted for the Stonehenge Visitor Centre subject to conditions, one of which is that improvements to the A303 go ahead, as set out in the published Stonehenge Improvement Order 2000. The Government are considering the findings of the A303 Review of Options and will make an announcement in due course on the way forward. Our intention remains that we find a solution for Stonehenge which will respect the status of Stonehenge as a World Heritage Site and which is affordable and deliverable.
