Subject: Wedgwood Museum: Campaign Update

 

Dear all,

 

Thank you to the many supporters who have e-mailed over the last month

asking for their names to be added to the supporters roll.

 

Since the initial Court decision was announced just before Christmas there

has been a huge amount of positive and constructive coverage and media

interest in the plight of the Museum. Supporters have continued to lobby

their MPs and our supporters in Parliament have sponsored an Early Day

Motion  - please ask your MP to sign it - whilst Lord Flight of Worcester

has put down an Oral Question for the Minister in the House of Lords.

 

There has been wide coverage of John Caudwell’s incredibly generous offer to

“Save the Collection” – he is a native of the Potteries and recognises the

importance of the collection for Staffordshire and beyond. Any future offer

would, of course, be conditional and he has stated that he regards himself

as a “lender of last resort” – a safety-net should all other efforts fail.

 

As reported in The Daily Telegraph on 11th January,  the campaign still

awaits the decision of the Attorney-General as to whether he will seek leave

to appeal – until this is determined, any necessary fundraising appeal

cannot be launched. It remains the objective of the campaign to seek a legal

or political solution that will safeguard the collection within an

inalienable trust for the nation.

 

Thank you for your on-going support – please continue to lobby your MP and

Ministers, using the resources on the website.
