Read this text about the Parthenon Marbles and give your opinion below.
Members of the Parliament - Early Day Motion The present Parliament congratulates Channel 4 for the quality and the success of its recent programme «Fifteen-to-one», which was especially dedicated to the Elgin Marbles. During the telephone vote after the programme, 92.5%of the total 100,000 voters were in favour of the return of the Marbles in Greece. We believe that today the whole case about their return has been forgotten. Therefore, we call upon Her Majesty's Government to start immediately with negotiations on the matter with the Greek government.
Signed by more than 100 members of the British Parliament (London, 19/6/1996)
