On 17 November, the House of Lords Select Committee published its report on the UK Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Bill, wherein it expressed concerns, for example, in respect of the bill’s three-yearly review provisions, which it is not convinced are acceptable. The Lords also questioned the absence of an individual’s right to be told that sanctions have been applied against them or on what grounds, and also expressed its deep concerns over the enforcement provisions, which it described as “constitutionally unacceptable”. On 29 November, the House of Lords continued to closely scrutinise the UK Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Bill, which was introduced at the Committee stage on 21 November.
