Committee seeks support for 19 recommendations

The Select Committee on Built Heritage has handed over 19 suggestions after uncovering 'alarming' statistics highlighting an erosion of the Island's 'cultural fabric'.

Former MLC Marlene Maska - who was speaking as a witness in the chamber - said this was a 'really important' issue:
