...in three years time....

>Estelle Morris: I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for his comments on the portable antiquities scheme. <b>The security of funding for it over the next three years has been welcomed by all.</b> I take his point about the need to ensure that Departments work closely together, and I would not deny that archaeology spans a number of different Departments. Ensuring seamless support for it is sometimes difficult, but I hesitate to commit the matter to a committee. What inevitably ends up happening is that more time is spent servicing and organising the committee than on carrying out work on archaeology itself.<
