Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the revenue accrued by HM Treasury through tax on ivory artworks and objets d'art in each of the last five years; and if his Department will make an estimate of the potential cost to the public purse of a ban on the ivory trade in the UK in the next five years.

The information requested is not available. HM Revenue and Customs does not collect data on VAT and Customs Duty from traders to this level of detail.
