Mr. Allen

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what action he has taken in respect of known terrorists' bank accounts since 11 September. [7312]

Ruth Kelly

Since the events of 11 September the UN Security Council has passed a resolution calling upon States to freeze the assets of terrorists. The Government have implemented this resolution (UNSCR 1373) by way of an Order in Council (SI No. 3365). The Government are in the process of notifying banks and financial institutions of known terrorists, such as those detailed in the 24 September US Executive Order, as and when they are issued.
