Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, which museum will be taking the accessioned collection of material from HMS Victory 1744.
The Maritime Heritage Foundation has committed to ensure the public display of, and access to, the Victory 1744 Collection, and is in discussion about that arrangment with a UK museum; the Ministry of Defence is being kept informed of the progess of those discussions. Any agreement will be announced at the appropriate time. It should be noted that any artefacts recovered would need to go through a conservation process, which will take some time, before they could be displayed.
