Terrorist Asset-Freezing (Temporary Provisions) Bill

My Lords, I am grateful for that. It is clear from the Supreme Court judgment that it has taken the Government some time to arrive at the licensing arrangements that they now apply. The Minister mentioned benefits; we know from the judgment that that was not always the case. The argument again is that the amendments are unnecessary because this is what we do. The assurance that I hoped for and that I think I heard was not just that this is what we do now but that this is what we will be doing. The Attorney-General is nodding.
