§ Mr. Gordon PrenticeTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to his answer of 12 June 2000,Official Report, column 500W, on missing works of art, for what reasons the theft on 9 January 1997 of rings and cameos from the Sir John Soane's Museum was not included in this list. [132512]
§ Mr. Alan HowarthMy letter of 4 July to my hon. Friend in response to his parliamentary question asking the Secretary of State to list the items missing, stolen or unaccounted for from the national collections did not refer to the Sir John Soane's Museum because it is not a national museum. Copies of my letter were placed in the Library of the House on 4 July.
