(2) The matters that the appropriate authority must have regard to when deciding whether to approve an institution include— (a) the institution’s procedures for establishing the provenance and ownership of objects, and (b) in particular, compliance by the institution with guidance about such procedures published by the Secretary of State from time to time. (3) The appropriate authority may withdraw approval from an institution if it thinks fit, and, in particular, if— (a) it thinks that the institution’s procedures for establishing the provenance or ownership of objects are inadequate (because of the institution’s failure to comply with guidance published by the Secretary of State or for some other reason), or (b) the institution has failed to comply with a requirement of regulations under section 126(9). (4) The withdrawal of approval from an institution does not affect the application of sections 126 and 127 to any object which is a protected object immediately before the withdrawal. (5) In this section ““the appropriate authority”” means— (a) the Secretary of State, in relation to an institution in England, (b) the Welsh Ministers, in relation to an institution in Wales, (c) the Scottish Ministers, in relation to an institution in Scotland, and (d) the Department for Culture, Art and Leisure, in relation to an institution in Northern Ireland.”” On Question, amendment agreed to.
