Working Group on Human Remains Report

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport published the report of the Working Group on Human Remains on Friday 14 November 2003.


The Report - to the Minister for the Arts - deals with the current legal status of human remains within the collections of publicly funded Museums and Galleries in England and Wales.

This is a document by an independent advisory committee, and so does not necessarily reflect Government policy. However, the Working Group on Human Remains Terms of Reference state that the report will form the basis of a consultation document. The DCMS propose to issue this early in the new year, including full costings. The results of this consultation will inform the Government's response.
