Question
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to ratify the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage.
This question was answered on 14th February 2023
His Majesty’s Government is fully committed to the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage in the UK.
As with any international treaty, ratification of UNESCO Conventions should be considered fully, taking into account value for money to the UK taxpayer and the interests of both the Devolved Administrations and our Overseas Territories. When this process has been completed, Ministers will take a decision on the merits of ratification.
