The assessment as last published
Carried over unchanged from v1.0.0 (18 October 2026). Links point inside this site.
Chronology and catalogue links — assessed 10-10-2026: See the Institutional Involvement Roadmap (1877–2026) for the date-ordered institution, people and evidence sequence. The reported 1988 Cadw-to-Minister spot-listing letter has its own placeholder at GHF-E152; the original has not been attached to that page as at 10-10-2026. A placeholder records an evidence gap, not the letter’s content or proof of misconduct.
Forensic Assessment — Senedd Culture Committee
Scope: present democratic scrutiny/accountability only.
Role
The Senedd Culture Committee did not decide the 1988 listing/demolition case. Its potential role is present institutional scrutiny where a live Welsh public-policy or heritage issue falls within committee competence.
Control test
Any referral must distinguish private title litigation from systemic lessons about heritage protection, records preservation and public accountability. The Committee should not be asked to determine private ownership.
Current finding
No historic committee responsibility is established.
Human action
Use only after the current evidence/complaint routes have matured and a tightly framed public-policy question can be supported by the documented case record.
Acceptance: any submission has a defined policy question, evidence schedule and requested committee outcome.
Institutional appearance timeline — linked source index
Coverage rule: this is a chronological navigation map of published Wiki source pages found by searching the current site index for “Senedd Culture Committee”. Every event label links directly to the page containing the source. It avoids duplicating source narratives. It records mention/appearance, not culpability. Dates are transcribed from page titles where available; “Date not explicit in title” means the linked source must be consulted. Search indexing is a discovery aid, not proof of exhaustive external coverage. 🕒
| Date shown by source title | Event / source — open evidence | Record class |
|---|---|---|
| Date not explicit in title | Source Conflicts Register — Where Public-Authority Replies and the Wiki Disagree | Published Wiki evidence page |
| Date not explicit in title | FOI & Public-Authority Reply Register — every reply email and its attachments | Published Wiki evidence page |
Records-access register appearances — direct row links
Rows below match the institution’s name or an alias in the reply register’s sender/reference or recorded description. A match shows an appearance in the records trail, not necessarily an act by this institution.
No matching reply-register row was found for this name/alias set. That is not evidence that no correspondence exists; broaden the alias search when new records are added. 🕒

(b) Inconsistencies and gaps
Contradictions between replies, or between institutions
- 11 August 2026: Redirected on 11 August 2026 to Cadw; that body answered “not held” on 27 August 2026 (its page). Each points elsewhere; the record is not located.
(c) Quarantined-name links
Records on the quarantine register (Kissed Frogs) that sit in, or came from, this institution’s holdings. None is treated as settled.
No quarantined-name record on the register is linked to this institution’s holdings.
(d) Duty and liability — our reading
Liability indicators (our reading): some
- Duty
- Freedom of Information Act 2000 s.1 and s.10 (confirm or deny, and supply held information within 20 working days); Environmental Information Regulations 2004 for land and environmental records; records management under the s.46 Code of Practice; Public Records Act 1958 selection and transfer for central government records.
- Indicators the duty was not met
- redirections that end in “not held”.
- Evidence still needed to confirm
- the institution’s retention schedule and disposal record for the series in question; the catalogue or file list it searched; any internal review or complaint outcome.
- Likely extent of exposure if confirmed
- An ICO decision notice or a records-management finding; any reparations claim would also need a link between a records failure and the loss.
(e) Evidence still needed
- Inspect the files it names, or their transferred copies at the archive. for paid visit list
