Holocaust (Return of Cultural Objects) Bill: Committee stage report

This Bill (formerly known as the Holocaust (Stolen Art) Restitution Bill, is a Private Members’ Bill sponsored by Andrew Dismore. It gives the trustees of various public museums in Great Britain the power to transfer any cultural objects currently held in their collections which had been misappropriated by the Nazi regime between 1939 and 1945, so that they can be restored to the lawful owners or their heirs. This is a report on the Committee stage of the Bill.
