REGISTERED BUILDINGS IN GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

Registered buildings in Government ownership will be subject to the same conditions as those which are in private ownership, but there is the further implied requirement that such buildings should be dealt with in ways which will provide examples of good practice to other owners. It is particularly important that every effort should be made to maintain historic buildings in good condition, and to find appropriate new uses for buildings in Government ownership which are no longer in active use. Prompt disposal is important: empty buildings should not be retained on a contingency basis, with all the risk of neglect and disrepair that this can create.
