This bill received Royal Assent on 16 December 2010 and is now the Terrorism Asset-Freezing Act 2010
The UK is required by the UN to freeze the assets of people who commit terrorist acts. The UK legislation that allowed the Treasury to freeze the assets of those suspected of involvement in terrorism was quashed by the UK Supreme Court in January 2010 but reinstated by temporary legislation immediately afterwards.
The Terrorist Asset-Freezing (Temporary Provisions) Act 2010 expired on 31 December 2010. This bill sought to replace that Act with a permanent legislative framework. See the bill’s passage through Parliament.
