Written question asked by Patrick Mercer (Conservative) on Wednesday, 13 December 2006, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 18 December 2006. It was answered by Ed Balls (Labour) on Tuesday, 19 December 2006 on behalf of the Treasury.


UN Sanctions Lists

Question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how the identified assets linked to an individual on UN sanctions lists were disposed of.
Answer

As stated in my written answer of 29 November 2006, Official Report, column 732W, the Al-Qaeda and Taliban (United Nations Measures) Order 2006 freezes the assets of persons listed by the UN Sanctions Committee under UN Security Council resolution 1390 as members of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban, or associated with them, or persons subject to a direction by the Treasury. However the assets remain the property of those persons and therefore the assets cannot be disposed of.
