A
BILL
to

This bill would require the return of the Parthenon Sculptures (ancient marble carvings from the Parthenon temple in Athens) from the British Museum to Greece. The sculptures have been in the museum for over 200 years, but Greece has long campaigned to get them back as part of their cultural heritage.

Presented by Mr Mark Williams.
