To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of the Export Control Act 2002 in ensuring that works by artists and caricaturists of the Georgian age are protected from export and require the appropriate licence granted by the Secretary of State to be exported.
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of the Export Control Act 2002 in ensuring that works by artists and caricaturists of the Georgian age are protected from export and require the appropriate licence granted by the Secretary of State to be exported.
The export licensing process under the Act provides protections for objects over 50 years of age and above a certain value from permanent export if they are of national importance to the U.K by providing an opportunity for acquisition by a UK buyer committed to ensuring public access.
Export licensing is confidential in its nature. The Government has not assessed the impact of the Export Control Act 2002 in specifically ensuring that works by artists and caricaturists of the Georgian age are protected from export. Statistical information on export licences issued under the Act and case studies of items deferred from export each year are available in the annual report of the Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Arts and Objects of Cultural Interest.

Public authorities throughout the United Kingdom were given an opportunity to apply for a free portrait of His Majesty The King if they wanted to display it in their building. This was a voluntary scheme to mark the accession of His Majesty The King. The announcement was originally made on 1 April 2023 and the scheme was launched in November that year and closed for applications in August 2024.
As it was a voluntary scheme, there was no obligation for public authorities to apply for a portrait. There may also be a variety of reasons as to why an institution did not order a portrait, such as suitable location or whether they had an existing portrait. It would therefore be inappropriate to release a simple list of individual authorities and institutions which did or did not order a free portrait.
