Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Nadine Dorries (Conservative). It was answered on Thursday, 12 July 2007 on behalf of the Treasury.
Terrorist Assets
- Question
- Tackling money laundering also means, in the words of the Prime Minister, that there should be"““no safe haven for terrorists””" and"““no safe hiding place for their funds.””" If that is the case, why was Abu Hamza able to buy a £220,000 semi-detached house in Greenford for cash, two years after his assets were supposed to have been frozen by the Treasury?
- Answer
-
The police have conducted their own investigation into that case, and I know that the hon. Lady’s colleague, the hon. Member for Hammersmith and Fulham (Mr. Hands), has raised the issue with my predecessor in an Adjournment debate. The police were absolutely satisfied that, because no asset was transferred to the designated person, there was no cause for concern.
