To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the reply by Lord Ashton of Hyde on 24 April (HL Deb, cols 600–602), what specific steps the National Lottery Heritage Fund will take to “strengthen the emphasis on creating a legacy record for funded projects and on making this publicly accessible wherever possible”.

The National Lottery Heritage Fund (the Fund) is in discussions with various representatives from the archives sector, including The National Archives and the Archives and Records Association. The aim of these discussions is to find ways to ensure that grant recipients make application material more widely accessible in future, partly by removing practical obstacles to doing so.
The Fund is also expediting the compilation of a list of 1300 park and garden projects for which Conservation Management Plans may have been produced, which they will make available to interested parties upon request.
