HC Deb 23 February 1989 vol 147 c762W
Mr. David Evans

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to seek to extend the power of courts to issue confiscation orders.

Mr. John Patten

We have no present plans to extend the powers of courts to make confiscation orders, but the Prevention of Terrorism Bill would give courts additional powers to order forfeiture of funds destined for use in connection with terrorism.
