Proceeding contribution from John Whittingdale (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 15 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Holocaust (Stolen Art) Restitution Bill.
Holocaust (Stolen Art) Restitution Bill
I am following the hon. Gentleman's timeline carefully, but I would not want him to overlook the fact that the Select Committee on Culture, Media and Sport examined this matter in June 2007. We endorsed the findings of the predecessor Committee and expressed our regret that the Government had not been able to fulfil their international obligations or previous commitments—I simply congratulate him on this Bill, which I hope will succeed in finally doing that.
