The Holocaust (Return of Cultural Objects) (Amendment) Act 2019 received Royal Assent on 4 July 2019. The Act repeals the sunset provision in the 2009 Act which gave powers to specified UK national museums to return Nazi looted works of art if recommended to do so by the UK Spoliation Advisory Panel for a period of ten years until 2019. The 2019 Act thereby extends the powers of restitution of national museums indefinitely.
