Mr. Dalyell
To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what legislation he is proposing in relation to treasure trove.
Mr. Key
My right hon. Friend met the promoters of a proposed private Member's Bill earlier this year and indicated that in his view further consultations are needed, both within Government and beyond, before acceptable proposals for the reform of treasure trove legislation can be formulated. We have offered to assist with these consultation's as soon as resources permit.
