Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorist Asset-Freezing etc. Bill [Lords].


Terrorist Asset-Freezing etc. Bill [Lords]

Although I obviously accept the thrust of what my right hon. Friend says, there seems to be something of a love-in going on between the two Front Benchers on this issue, and it always worries me when Front Benchers are in agreement over everything. I am concerned about those who have had their assets frozen and who have now had their orders revoked; there are 13 people in that situation, according to the written ministerial statement. What do we say to them? They have had their bank accounts frozen and, in a sense, someone has believed that they have in some way been linked to terrorism; there is a reasonable suspicion of that. It will be pretty difficult for them now, will it not?
