This question was answered on 9th December 2024
I met Greece’s Tourism Minister Olga Kefalogianni on 4 November for a meeting regarding tourism, when she raised the Parthenon Sculptures among many other matters.
Decisions relating to the care and management of the Parthenon Sculptures are a matter for the British Museum Trustees, acting within the law.
We have no plans to change the law that would permit a permanent move of the Parthenon Sculptures.
