Commentary on provisions of Act Section 14: Deprivation orders New section 94A property subject to deprivation order: modification of section 94
This new section modifies the existing regulation-making power contained in section 94 of the AFA 2006. Section 94 enables the Secretary of State to make provision with respect to disposal of property which has come into the possession of the service police or a commanding officer. This new section enables regulations to be made to deal with property held by the service police or a commanding officer in consequence of a deprivation order.
	Subsections (2) and (3) require the regulations to give the legitimate owner of the property 6 months from the date of the deprivation order to make a claim for the property.
	Subsections (4) to (6) allow the regulations to provide that, after the 6-month period, the property may be otherwise disposed of, including by transferring it to the Secretary of State.
