Dr. Sharon Greene:

I will be very quick. As Mr. Swan noted, these registers are already available, essentially. The sites and monuments record, the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage and so on, are all already searchable online for anyone to use to find sites in their locality or wherever they want to go. That is not really a concern about making this new register public. However, I acknowledge the problem of land in private ownership where there are monuments and issues of access, as well as people's understanding of that. There is often an assumption that if national monuments are in State care but located on private land, we must have a right of way to visit it because it belongs to the State. That is not so in every case. The whole question of private ownership, access and so on would have to be part of the programme of public education around access and conservation of monuments.
