Status

The term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section. A version of a provision is prospective either:

  1. where the provision (Part, Chapter or section) has never come into force or;
  2. where the text of the provision is subject to change, but no date has yet been appointed by the appropriate person or body for those changes to come into force.

Commencement Orders listed in the ‘Changes to Legislation’ box as not yet applied may bring this prospective version into force.

(2)Condition A is—

(a)admission to the premises has been refused or a refusal may be reasonably expected, and

(4)A warrant granted under this section remains in force until—

(a)enter the premises by force if necessary,

(b)search the premises and any person found in the premises,

(c)seize and retain any item or material found on the premises, or on any person in the premises, if the constable has reasonable grounds for suspecting that it may provide evidence of the commission of an offence under section 1, 2, 3 or 12.

(6)A constable may take to a place entered by virtue of this section any other person, or any equipment, as may be necessary for the purposes of assisting the constable (and such a person is to act under the constable’s direction at all times).

(7)A constable who is authorised by a warrant granted under this section to seize and detain material may, if the material is only capable of being looked at, read, watched or listened to (as the case may be) after conversion from data stored in another form, require that the material—

(a)be converted into such a form in a way which enables it to be taken away, or

(b)be produced in a form which is capable of being taken away and from which it can be readily converted.

(8)In this section, “premises” includes any—

(a)land or building,

(b)vehicle, vessel, trailer, aircraft or hovercraft,

(c)tent or moveable structure,

(whether or not the premises are used wholly or mainly as a private dwelling).
