Clause 34
Counter-Terrorism Bill

I beg to move amendment No. 174, in page 24, line 2, leave out ‘and other’.
Clause 34 makes provision—which brings me back to my earlier comment—for the court to be entitled to hear from any person.
Subsection (2) of new section 23B states:
“In considering whether to make an order...in respect of any property, a court shall have regard to...the value of the property, and...the likely financial and other effects on the convicted person of the making of the order (taken together with any other order that the court contemplates making).
Since the order is in fact a financial order, what are the “other effects” that the Government consider the court might wish to take into account?
