Sir Keir Starmer would not stand in the way of a deal which could see the Elgin Marbles returned to Greece, Downing Street has indicated.

No 10 said the Parthenon sculptures’ future is “entirely” in the hands of the British Museum, amid reports its negotiations with the Greek government are progressing.
