UK museums can return looted art
Artefacts in national museums found to have been looted by the Nazis can now be returned to their rightful owners, thanks to newly-passed legislation.
The Holocaust (Stolen Art) Restitution Act gives national institutions in England and Scotland the power to return art stolen during the Nazi era.
The bill was introduced earlier this year by Labour MP Andrew Dismore.
The act, he said, would “right a long-standing injustice” and marked “an important moral step”.
The MP for Hendon said it was “an important moral step” that had been supported by all political parties.
