Moves to return Elgin Marbles

A NEW campaign to return the Elgin Marbles to Greece was launched yesterday but was met with indifference by the British Government.

Organisers of the Marbles Reunited campaign want to see the 2,500-year-old treasures returned in time for this year's Olympic Games in Athens.

However, the British Museum, home to the disputed marbles for the past 200 years, said it has no intention of handing them over.
