Policing and Crime Bill

Mr. Coaker: The whole approach has been driven by a desire to balance judicial oversight, practical policing and the policy objective of ensuring that we prevent individuals dissipating assets—trying to get rid of their criminal gain. I know that Mr. Brokenshire will agree. Essentially, it is about responding to what the police have said, whereby people in a number of cases get around the law because they get rid of the assets before a restraining order can be applied.
