LOCAL GOVERNMENT FINANCE SETTLEMENT AND ARCHAEOLOGY

Early day motion 377, tabled 2 March 1999 by Lord Maclennan of Rogart (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 50 members.

That this House notes with regret the forthcoming cuts to local government heritage services caused by the local government finance settlement; and recognises that such services communicate the value of archaeology and historic buildings in the nation's economic, cultural and educational life and that they are fundamental to ensuring that finite cultural inheritance can be enjoyed by present and future generations.
