Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said there are "no plans" to change a law that stops the Elgin Marbles from being returned to Greece. The 1963 British Museum Act prevents the organisation from giving away items in its collection, except in limited circumstances.
Mr Sunak said that the UK had "cared for" the sculptures in the British Museum for decades. He added that they were "shared with the world" in the London Museum.
But Greece has long called for the Parthenon Sculptures to be returned to Athens. They were originally removed from Greece by Lord Elgin in the early 1800s, while he was the British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire.
