Closed Urge other nations to prevent looting of British shipwrecks

Closed on

The Government should urge nations where our shipwrecks lie to take more active measures to ensure to protect shipwrecks, including those that are designated war graves, and ensure anyone responsible for looting these are brought to justice.

There have been recent reports of suspected looting of British Warships that are designated war graves, and I don't think enough is done to prevent this, or bring those responsible to justice. Men who died on these vessels gave their lives to defend the free world. It's only right we defend their remains.
