The MLA has commissioned a review of the Portable Antiquities Scheme. Its aim will be to ensure the scheme is as effective as possible and look at:
- The objectives of the scheme in the light of changes in regional museum provision, most particularly the Renaissance programme
- Options for levels of activity and funding
- How the scheme can be delivered in the future in the most cost-efficient manner
- How the scheme can be funded and managed in the future in a sustainable way
A steering group with representatives from MLA, BM and DCMS will oversee the review. Kate Clark an experienced heritage consultant has been commissioned to undertake the review. It is intended that she will identify options and recommendations by September.
