HC Deb 27 April 1977 vol 930 c314W
Mr. Ian Stewart

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what are the arrangements for making items of treasure trove accruing to the Duchy available for academic study.

Mr. Lever

It is the practice that all items due to the Duchy of Lancaster as treasure trove are sent to either the British Museum or a museum in the provinces for examination and cataloguing. The result of this work is available for academic study.
