asked Her Majesty's Government:

When the United Kingdom will sign the Unidroit Convention. [HL3384]

Her Majesty's Government are still considering whether we should sign the Unidroit Convention on the International Return of Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects. Consultation within Government is currently in progress. We would hope to consult publicly in the New Year.
