On 27 October 2009 the UK's Holocaust (Return of Cultural Objects) Bill 2008-09 passed unopposed through the third and final reading in the House of Lords, having successfully passed through the House of Commons on 26 June 2009. The bill will now be granted Royal Assent and become law. The Bill will enable restitution of Nazi-looted works of art from all UK museums.
