Top level talks to help protect 'vital' collection
CULTURE Minister Ed Vaizey is to visit the Wedgwood Museum next week for more discussions over its future.
The talks come days after the Attorney General announced on Monday he will not appeal last year's High Court decision that the museum's collection can be sold to help plug a £134 million pension fund gap.
Mr Vaizey met Stoke-on-Trent Central MP Tristram Hunt, family member Alison Wedgwood and representatives from the Art Fund and the Arts Council on Wednesday.
He is now planning to visit the Potteries for more talks on the collection.

Mr Hunt said: "We will be discussing the vital need for a sustainable business case for the museum and also about taking this opportunity of getting the Minton archive out of the Bonhams basement and making that part of the package.
"Before we start any fund-raising campaign, certain hard-headed business decisions need to be made."
The Wedgwood Museum, which features around 10,000 pieces in its collection, went into administration in 2010 after being hit with a £134 million pensions claim linked to the collapse of Wedgwood itself.
