PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(8 January 2025)

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he plans to decolonise the (a) artwork, (b) heritage assets in (i) his Department and (ii) each of its arm’s length bodies and (iii) Armed Forces premises of the Armed Forces (A) in and (B) outside the United Kingdom.

Asked by:
Nick Timothy (Conservative)

There are no such plans currently under consideration. As a Department, the Ministry of Defence borrows art from the Government Art Collection. There has been no change in the Cabinet Office’s management of artwork or heritage assets since the previous administration. The Ministry of Defence does not have a separate additional policy on artwork and heritage assets.
