The draft Order will impose export controls on objects of cultural interest; and will replace the similar existing provisions under the Export of Goods (Control) Order 1992 made under the Import, Export and Customs (Powers) Defence Act 1939.
Heritage organisations, members of the art trade and other interested parties have until Wednesday, 30 April 2003 to submit views.
