Dr. John CunninghamTo ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what measures have been taken by her Department to improve publicity for the register of conditionally exempt works of art. [11221]
§ Mr. JackI have been asked to reply.
The register has been computerised, and is updated on a quarterly basis. Each update is announced in an Inland Revenue press release which explains the public's right to view the items included in the register, and how copies of it in computer-readable format may he purchased. The most recent press release was issued on 16 January. Inland revenue is also considering the possibility of placing this information on the Internet.
