Answer
The Listed Building Grant Scheme was fully committed early in the 2014-15 financial year. In regard to 2015-16, I will shortly be considering the allocation of £0.5 million, provided through the Carrier Bag Levy in respect of existing Listed Building Grant applications and, in doing so, will prioritise those applications where the focus is on supporting restoration and maintenance projects in buildings that provide facilities for community access and use, including churches.
