WORKS OF ART (EXPORTS TO U.S.A.)

HC Deb 16 May 1944 vol 400 c43W

Mr. Keeling

asked the President of the Board of Trade the value of works of art exported to the U.S.A. during each of the last three years.

Mr. Dalton

The value of exports of works of art and of paintings to the United States was £340,000 in 1940. The figures for 1941 to 1943, which have not been published, show a heavy reduction.
