Proceeding contribution from Lord Pannick (Crossbench) 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]

Can we be clear about this? Although the Government have introduced a very welcome right of appeal for persons who are designated, the Minister is telling the Committee that there may be cases where an individual is told absolutely nothing about the reasons for his designation and he will be left to rely on the special advocate, to whom he cannot talk and who cannot take instructions from him. Is that the Government’s position?
