Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Bill [HL]

Amendments 33 and 34 concern Clause 10. Where Clause 10(6) says:

“The regulations may make provision, for the purposes of the regulations, as to the meaning of a person’s”,

we want to replace the word “may” with “must”. We also want to add a final subsection to the end of the clause, as follows:

“( ) The regulations must make provision for the notification of persons designated under subsection (3)(b) to (d), and such notifications must state, to the fullest possible extent consistent with the purpose of the regulations … which person or persons the designation has been made in connection with, and … the nature of the connection identified for the purposes of the designation”.

It is a question, if you are going to designate, of identifying who the person is associated with and what are the reasons for associating with them.

The regulations must make provision for the notification of persons designated on the grounds of indirect involvement in prohibited activities, including the requirement to inform such persons of the specific nature of any activities or other persons they have been designated in connection with. I am not sure how

they are to know unless they are advised as to what it is and who it is they have been designated for associating with.
