STOLEN ARTEFACTS

Motion Text

That this House congratulates both the Italian Government on its decision to return the Ethiopian Obelisk to Axum and Glasgow City Council's Cultural Committee on its decision to repatriate Maori artefacts; notes that a special panel at Edinburgh University will shortly decide on whether to return stolen Ethiopian manuscripts in its possession; and calls on the British Museum to return the stolen Ethiopian Tabots, also in its possession which are deeply sacred to Ethiopian Christians.
