The Chapter shall, wherever and so far as it is reasonably practicable to do so, ensure that any object of treasure discovered within the precinct of the cathedral concerned is made available to be viewed by members of the public in conditions which are secure and appropriate for its preservation.

(2)

In the interests of the security and preservation of objects of treasure any inspection of such an object by a member or members of the public on a individual basis shall be limited to those persons who have been expressly authorised in writing by the Chapter for that purpose and who at the time of inspection provide such documentary evidence of personal identification as the Chapter may reasonably require.

(3)

In sub-paragraphs (1) and (2) above “member of the public” means a person other than an officer of the cathedral or other person carrying out work for the cathedral (whether or not on a paid basis) who is viewing or inspecting the object of treasure concerned in connection with the functions of that office or for the purposes of that work.
