Terrorist Asset-Freezing (Temporary Provisions) Bill

I hope noble Lords will take great comfort from the fact that we have been reporting to Parliament since December 2006, that the reporting has been as frequent as we indicated it would be at that time, and that we provide more detail than the noble Baroness has suggested in her amendment. I have made it very clear that, for the time that this temporary legislation is in place, we intend not only to continue to report quarterly but to augment the reports by providing an additional line of information, as the noble Baroness proposes. I hope Parliament will draw comfort from my very clear and unqualified statement as a Minister in support of our commitment to report properly and fully to Parliament for such time as this temporary legislation remains in effect.
