Negligent landlords of historic buildings should be stripped of ownership, a Labour MP says
Paul Sweeney made the comments after another listed building in Glasgow went up in flames
Firefighters remain at the scene at Woodmill High School, Dunfermline, after they worked through the night battling a ‘suspicious’ blaze at the high school

LANDLORDS who neglect historic buildings should be stripped of their ownership, Labour MP Paul Sweeney said today, after another listed site in Glasgow went up in flames.

Thick clouds of smoke were visible across the city on Sunday night as firefighters battled a blaze at the derelict Howden engineering works in Tradeston, which is B-listed as a site of local or regional importance.

On the same evening a fire broke out at Woodmill High School in Dunfermline.
