Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 6 October 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Terrorist Asset-Freezing etc. Bill [HL].


Terrorist Asset-Freezing etc. Bill [HL]

My Lords, I shall certainly do so. I am grateful for the Minister’s explanation of the term ““indirect””. On his point that I dealt with the term ““partly”” and thus added complexity, I think I would say, ““So?””. If my amendments do not achieve their objective, that is another point. I remain concerned about the licensing relying on Treasury policy rather than flowing from the provisions of the statute. The Minister recognises that that is a serious point and I think he will also recognise that there is a line between relying on current policy, which may be changed dramatically or morph into something else, and having the reassurances that a provision in legislation would provide. I wonder whether I can talk to him on Report about this point, not about the rest of the group of amendments, to see whether something might be achieved that we both want to achieve. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 38 withdrawn. Amendment 39 not moved. Clause 8 agreed. Clause 9: Making funds or financial services available for benefit of designated person Clause 9: Making funds or financial services available for benefit of designated person Amendments 40 and 41 not moved. Clause 9 agreed. Clause 10: Making economic resources available to designated person Clause 10: Making economic resources available to designated person Amendment 42 not moved. Clause 10 agreed. Clause 11: Making economic resources available for benefit of designated person Clause 11: Making economic resources available for benefit of designated person Amendments 43 and 44 not moved. Clause 11 agreed. Clause 12: Exceptions Amendment 45 Clause 12: Exceptions Amendment 45 Moved by
