Without prejudice to the Company’s power of sale, the Company may, subject to the provisions of this article, give to any person any article vested in it which appears to be of historical, local, scientific or artistic interest.
No such article shall be given to any person unless such gift has been approved by a resolution of not less than three-fourths of the guardians of the Company attending a meeting of the Company to discuss the gift.
Where any article referred to in paragraph (1) of this article has become vested in the Company by virtue of a gift or bequest–
the Company shall, if reasonably practicable, consult with the donor or with the personal representatives or trustees of the donor before exercising the powers of this article; and
the powers conferred by this article shall not be exercisable as respects that article in any manner inconsistent with any express condition attached to the gift or bequest, except with the consent of the donor or the personal representatives or trustees of the donor.
In the case of any gift of any article made to the Company after the coming into force of this Order, the Company shall at or before the acceptance of the gift give to the person making it written notice of the effect of paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) of this article.
