No plans to return Parthenon marbles to Greece, says Rishi Sunak

PM says British Museum collection is funded by taxpayer and protected by law

Rishi Sunak has vowed to protect the Parthenon marbles from being sent back to Greece, saying they remain a “huge asset” to the UK.

The prime minister stuck by commitments made by his predecessors Liz Truss and Boris Johnson to safeguard the treasures at the British Museum in London.
