HC Deb 08 April 1974 vol 872 c41W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if Her Majesty's Government intend to sign the 1970 Convention on the Prohibition of the Illicit Export of Works of Art.

Miss Joan Lestor

Her Majesty's Government have yet to take a decision on ratification of the UNESCO Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property, which raises certain difficulties for this country.
