answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2023 answer text <p>Museums and galleries in the UK operate independently of HM Government. Decisions relating to the care and management of their collections are a matter for the trustees of each museum, including research into items’ provenance and claims for restitution. Last year, Arts Council England published guidance on the handling of restitution claims and practical advice for museums on this matter.</p><p>Some national museums are prevented by legislation from deaccessioning objects in their collections unless, broadly, they are duplicates or unfit for retention. The two exceptions to this are when the objects are human remains less than 1,000 years old, and objects spoliated during the Nazi era. The Government has no plans to change these laws.</p> answering member constituency Maldon answering member printed Sir John Whittingdale question first answered 24/07/2023 08:22:24 answering member 39 label Biography information for Sir John Whittingdale

uin	193545
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2023 answer text <p>Political issues relating to racial and social justice can be taught in a balanced and factual manner, just as pupils are often taught a range of different views on other topics, but schools should not teach contested theories and opinions as fact.</p><p>The Department is aware that there has been increasing focus on political impartiality in schools over the last few years. This has been challenging for head teachers, teachers and staff, given a lack of clarity regarding what the legal duties in this area really mean.  That is why the Department has published clear and comprehensive guidance to help those working with and in schools to better understand legal duties on political impartiality. A link to the guidance can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/political-impartiality-in-schools" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/political-impartiality-in-schools</a>.</p><p>As with other aspects of the curriculum, schools have flexibility over how they deliver these subjects. It is important that schools take full responsibility for ensuring lessons and materials are age appropriate, suitable, and politically impartial, particularly when using materials produced by external organisations. When teaching, schools should consider the age of pupils and their religious and cultural backgrounds.</p><p>Schools are ultimately responsible for making sure the resources they use are suitable for their pupils. The Department’s guidance includes advice to help schools make good choices.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb grouped question UIN 193546 question first answered 20/07/2023 12:53:58 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
