(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).
