Terrorist Asset-Freezing (Temporary Provisions) Bill

I respectfully agree with the noble Baroness’s observations. Parliamentary approval was given to Section 4 of the 2001 Act, as I understand it, in relation primarily to foreign activities. I am concerned about the possible implications—I emphasise possible implications—of generally extending the scope of Section 4 so that it would apply to all domestic activities. That may have unfortunate implications and I would need some assurance that that was not the case before I could support this amendment.
