Amend the British Museum Act 1963 to allow for the return of artefacts
Museums are facing calls to return artefacts to their places of origin. The British Museum Act holds that the Trustees of the British Museum shall not dispose of objects vested in them except in very limited circumstances.
Some nations have called for the return of artefacts. We believe that other nations can preserve artefacts that are currently in British museums.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
