The Culture, Sir Chris Bryant, made it clear that “British legislation excludes any idea of a permanent return agreement”
In a committee discussion in the British Parliament, conservative MP Alberto Costa proposed the return of the Parthenon sculptures to Greece in the form of a one borrowing.
“This proposal is not about the evacuation of the British Museum. It is about restoring a set of uniquely important objects in their original context, “he said.
In return, the exhibition of important archaeological treasures of Greece in British museums could be offered.
The same MP even told The Telegraph that an agreement could “come closer” if Greece agrees to lift the entry fee to the Acropolis Museum for British visitors.
However, in his first public intervention on the issue, Deputy Minister of Culture Sir Chris Bryant said that the best that Britain could offer in Greece is a “temporary” agreement.
Bryant made it clear that “legal protection of objects under British law excludes any idea of a permanent return agreement.”
