Part 1: Sanctions regulations Chapter 1: Power to make sanctions regulations Section 11: Designation of a person by name under a designation power
This section places restrictions on the ability of an appropriate Minister to designate a person by name. These restrictions must be set out in sanctions regulations.
	The Minister can only designate a person where the Minister has reasonable grounds to suspect the person is involved in, or connected to, an activity set out in the regulations for a particular sanctions regime ("an involved person") and considers that it is appropriate to designate that person. The Minister must have regard to the purpose of the sanctions regime as set out in the regulations and to the likely significant effects of the designation on the person, as far as known.
	When a person has been designated by name, the notification required by section 10 must include a brief statement of reasons. The Minister does not have to disclose anything which might damage national security or international relations, the prevention or detection of serious crime, or the interests of justice.
	An "involved person" could include an individual, group or organisation involved in an activity, or a person controlled by them, someone acting on their behalf, or an associated person.
