question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether Sussex Police are required to freeze the assets of a company they are investigating; on what grounds police may freeze the assets of a company they are investigating; and at what point such assets may be unfrozen if police bail has expired and no charges have been brought.
tabling member constituency	West Lancashire

uin	9976
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/09/2015 answer text <p>The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 permits an application for a restraint order to be made to “freeze” assets of an alleged offender, which includes a company, if there is reasonable cause to suspect that an offender has benefitted from their criminal conduct. A restraint order has the effect of freezing property that may be liable to confiscation following a trial and the subsequent making of a confiscation order. There is no legal requirement for a police force to freeze the assets of a company they are investigating, although it is good practice to do so in cases in which assets need to be preserved for confiscation at a later date. A restraint order may be made by a Crown Court if any of the following conditions are satisfied:</p><p>(1) A criminal investigation has been started in England and Wales and there is reasonable grounds to suspect that the alleged offender has benefitted from criminal conduct</p><p>(2) Proceedings for an offence have been commenced in England and Wales and not concluded and there is reasonable grounds to believe that an alleged offender has benefitted from criminal conduct.</p><p>In addition to the statutory conditions, there must be a real risk that the assets will be dissipated.</p><p>A restraint order can be varied or discharged upon application by a person affected by the order. The Proceeds of Crime Act also provides that the court is required to discharge any restraint order at the conclusion of proceedings. If an order is made under condition (1) above, the court is also required to monitor progress with the investigation, and if a decision to charge is not made within a reasonable time, the court may discharge the restraint order.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 16/09/2015 12:20:37 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

uin	10005
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/09/2015 answer text <p>We have not estimated the cost of constructing a link road to Leeds Bradford International Airport as this would be a local road and the relevant local authority would be responsible for developing a scheme proposal. The Government sponsored study into improving connectivity to Leeds Bradford International Airport used an estimate provided by Leeds City Council of £38m in 2012 prices.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Aviation Policy Framework published in March 2013 makes clear that developers should pay the costs of upgrading transport links where there is a need to cope with increased passenger numbers, but that a public funding contribution will be considered if the scheme has a wider range of beneficiaries. The relevant local authorities would therefore be responsible for assembling a funding package for a link road, in partnership with developers and other local stakeholders. Local Growth Funding could be used to provide a public sector contribution, and the West Yorkshire Combined Authority is being provided with a contribution of up to £781m towards the West Yorkshire Plus Transport Fund between 2015/15 and 2034/35. The Fund has been set up to deliver transport improvements across West Yorkshire and York.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 16/09/2015 11:27:13 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
