Terrorist Asset-Freezing (Temporary Provisions) Bill

My Lords, the amendment does not seek to truncate the parliamentary process. We have already dealt with the sunset provision and my amendment would not alter that. It would merely put in place a different interim regime. I did not sit through the proceedings on the 2001 legislation, but I find it difficult to believe that the Government allowed Parliament to ignore the kind of matters that the noble and learned Baroness has just raised. As regards freezing assets in respect of those who are subject to Section 4, surely that must have been considered and debated, and the Government must have been clear in their mind that all the corners had been covered. I think that I shall test the opinion of the Committee. Division on Amendment 6D Contents 48; Not-Contents 162. Amendment 6D disagreed. Clause 1 agreed. Amendment 7 not moved. Clause 2 : Protection of things done or omitted in interim period Clause 2 : Protection of things done or omitted in interim period Debate on whether Clause 2 should stand part of the Bill.
