Proceeding contribution from Lord Sassoon (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 25 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorist Asset-Freezing etc. Bill [HL].
Terrorist Asset-Freezing etc. Bill [HL]
I am trying to reduce this to what Clause 1 actually does. I do not believe that saying whether it is extra-territorial will clarify the point at all. What I am trying to do is get to the substance of what the clause is intended to achieve. I do not know whether it is being suggested that we should not, for example, be able to freeze the assets of the likes of Osama bin Laden, if he had assets in this country, just because he does not happen to be here. Is that what is being suggested we should be prevented from doing?
