HC Deb 22 May 1980 vol 985 c335W
39. Mr. Philip Holland

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why the Advisory Panel on Treasure Trove in Scotland is being continued; and to what extent the Treasure Trove Reviewing Committee is capable of performing the panel's function.

Mr. Biffen

The members of the panel in Scotland and the Treasure Trove Reviewing Committee give their services voluntarily. It would be more expensive and inconvenient for the reviewing committee to cover the work in Scotland.
