This is an opinion question and, as a result, you may have different answers.
I believe that since the British properly paid the Ottoman government for the Elgin Marbles, transported them, and has protected them for roughly 200 years, the British should retain the right to exhibit the marbles. While I am sympathetic to the Greek argument that these treasures should be restored to their home, this is insufficient to match the incredible cost borne by the British in acquiring and preserving the artifacts, never mind the fact that Britain remains more stable for long term preservation of the artifacts and that there is no impediment to Greeks visiting the collections in Britain. (Compare this to the Iraqi Jewish Archive where the exhibition is slated to go to Iraq, where most Iraqi Jews - who are currently Israeli citizens - cannot go.)

Why are the Elgin marbles a subject of controversy?
The controversy derives from the different Greek and British views as to who should own the Elgin Marbles. From the Greek perspective, the marbles used to be part of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece and Greece maintains they should be returned there since they are a part of Greek cultural heritage. Britain says Lord Elgin was allowed to remove these from the Acropolis by the Ottoman Turkish government that was in power at the time that Elgin made the request. Therefore, the British legally removed them, even though the Greeks at that time were not consulted. Also these marble reliefs would have been destroyed by now if they had been left in their original place because of the various wars that were fought in Athens since Elgin took the marbles out of Greece. So Britain has preserved the Elgin marbles for 200 years and ought to keep them.
Do you think The Elgin marbles should be kept by the British government or returned to Greece?
That's up for debate - and depends on individual points of view... there are arguments for both sides. Permission for their removal was given by the leaders of the Ottoman empire - The marbles are safe, secure - and available on public view in the British museum. Whilst technically they belong to Greece - they were removed with permission of the government of the Ottoman empire.
