HC Deb 13 July 2000 vol 353 c636W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many people have been successfully prosecuted for the theft of works of art and artifacts from the national collections since 1990. [130061]

Mr. Alan Howarth

I have asked my officials to contact the National Museums and Galleries which are sponsored by DCMS to request information for a reply to my hon. Friend's question. I will write to him as soon as this is available, placing copies of my letter in the Library of the House.
