Terry Herbert And Anglo-Saxon Gold Hoard

EDM number 1998 in 2008-09, proposed by Tom Watson on 12/10/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Cultural heritage.

That this House congratulates Terry Herbert for unearthing the UK's largest haul of gold Anglo-Saxon treasure in Staffordshire; notes the importance of Mr Herbert's discovery which included an estimated 1,500 gold and silver pieces; further notes that the hoard has been described by experts as being the historical equivalent of finding a new Lindisfarne Gospels or Book of Kells; welcomes the decision of Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery to display a selection of the find until it is valued by the Treasure Valuation Committee; and calls on the Government to ensure that the collection remains in the West Midlands region.

This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs.
