<p>The Government provides guidance for the UK art market to assist them in determining
the history of cultural objects in which they deal. Additionally, Arts Council England
provides a Cultural Property Advice website which offers advice to the art trade,
museums and private individuals on the buying and selling of art. The trade associations
for the UK art market publish codes of ethics for their members which the Government
expects to see enforced.</p><p> </p><p>In September 2017, DCMS hosted an international
Conference, attended by the major auction houses, which explored ways of speeding
up the identification and return of cultural objects lost during the Nazi era. The
Government established the Spoliation Advisory Panel in 2000 to advise on claims for
the return of items lost during the Nazi era (1933-1945). The Panel can consider claims
for items that are privately owned at the joint request of the claimant and the current
owner.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
