HC Deb 26 February 1980 vol 979 c501W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether the export licence application form in respect of the Algardi Bust of Monsignor Cerri revealed the ownership as being a consortium of three art dealers; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Parkinson

Information given in support of an application for an export licence is regarded as given in confidence, but I can confirm that my Department is looking into the matter to which the hon. Member has referred.
