Lords ChamberAs far as I am concerned, my Lords, it is not within my living memory.
Does the Minister accept that in the past I have had a particular interest in this because one of my ancestors was buried in an Egyptian sarcophagus? When efforts were made by respected members of the public to recover the sarcophagus, it could not be found. Perhaps I may say that where private sector measures impact on the public sector, it can often give rise to offence if it means interfering with other graves.
I am obliged to my noble friend for his question. I am not aware of the present whereabouts of the sarcophagus in question.
