More details from petition creator

We, the undersigned, petition the Government to ensure that if public fundraising fails to achieve the target within the deadline, that Government funds the shortfall. It is essential that the hoard remains intact within the UK, preferably at museums local to the hoard’s discovery. At the very least, an export ban should be imposed without delay, to ensure the hoard is not sold to overseas buyers.

The hoard represents the single biggest discovery of Anglo Saxon artefacts, and thus represents an invaluable national treasure and testimony to our Anglo Saxon heritage.
