Terrorist Asset-Freezing (Temporary Provisions) Bill

What we have to consider is not only the broader picture of protecting our constituents, but the innocent man, woman or family caught in this situation, who then find that they have no easy way to get out of it. They may be caught for years in this dreadful situation with no ombudsman to help. I joked earlier about whether being subject to one of these orders might have an impact on someone's Experian credit status, but in reality, someone's life could be totally ruined by being subject to one of these orders. If we believe that it is right, in the fight against terrorism, to use draconian powers against UK citizens in this way, we must have a system of redress and appeal. Otherwise, natural justice would be offended, and that does the fight against terrorism a disservice. However rushed this legislation, we must consider the process of appeal and the possible impact on individuals' lives. Some innocent people will be caught by this legislation, and we have to bear them and their families in mind.
