HC Deb 12 December 1966 vol 738 cc31-2W
Mr. Whitaker

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps he is taking to prevent a repetition of the export of important works of art in circumstances similar to those in the recent case of the alleged Rubens, Daniel in the Lions' Den.

Miss Jennie Lee

The Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art are examining this question in consultation with the Board of Trade, H.M. Customs and Excise and my Department, in order to minimise the risk of any similar occurrence in future.
