National Monuments Service also ‘refused to take question’ on Tully church, Minister says

But he added “the department’s National Monuments Service has been unclear, however, in recent days about its specific roles and powers at Cherrywood and refused last week to take this parliamentary question from us”.

He also read aloud advice from his civil servant: “I suggest in these circumstances that the Minister would be circumspect about who exactly has responsibility for heritage protection.” A medieval stone cross near Tully church is understood to date from the 10th century.
