Its purpose is to confer, on certain national institutions, a power that was already possessed by other museums to return to their rightful owners cultural objects unlawfully acquired during the Nazi era.〔Explanatory notes, (paragraph 6 )〕 It was introduced into Parliament as the Holocaust (Stolen Art) Restitution Bill.〔http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2008-09/holocaustreturnofculturalobjectsformerlyknownasholocauststolenartrestitution.html〕 The Bill was amended to give it a different name. ==Sections 1 to 3== These sections came into force on 13 January 2010.〔The Holocaust (Return of Cultural Objects) Act 2009 (Commencement) Order 2010 (S.I. 2010/50 (C.8)), (article 2 ) (as read with section 4(3) of this Act).〕 Section 1 provides that the Act applies to: *The Board of Trustees of the Armouries *The British Library Board *The Trustees of the British Museum *The Trustees of the Imperial War Museum *The Board of Trustees for the National Galleries of Scotland *The Board of Trustees of the National Gallery *The Trustees of the National Library of Scotland *The Trustees of the National Maritime Museum *The Board of Trustees of the National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside *The Board of Trustees of the National Museums of Scotland *The Board of Trustees of the National Portrait Gallery *The Trustees of the Natural History Museum *The Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew *The Board of Trustees of the Science Museum *The Board of Trustees of the Tate Gallery *The Board of Trustees of the Victoria and Albert Museum *The Board of Trustees of the Wallace Collection Section 2 authorises those bodies to transfer objects from their collections if the Advisory Panel has recommended that transfer and the Secretary of State has approved that recommendation.
