Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their assessment of progress in the attempt to gain UNESCO World Heritage status for the Lake District.
This question was answered on 5th December 2016
The Lake District’s bid for World Heritage Site status is now in the advanced stages. The evaluation mission to the site took place in October 2016, with HMG in attendance, and the expert evaluators are currently compiling their report. DCMS has provided further information to assist with this, and will continue to do so as requested. The final decision will be taken by the World Heritage Committee in July 2017.
