Terrorism Act 2000
2000 CHAPTER 11
Commentary
Schedule 5: Terrorist Investigations
Paragraphs 19–21: Secretary of State orders
123.Under paragraph 8 of Schedule 7 to the PTA, in Northern Ireland only, the Secretary of State may authorise the police to carry out searches for, or require the production of, material in connection with investigations into terrorist finance offences or in relation to the offence of directing a terrorist organisation. These paragraphs replicate those provisions, again for Northern Ireland only, in an updated form consistent with the other provisions in Schedule 5 to the Act. Section 112(5) ensures that the provisions are treated as if they were in Part VII of the Act. This will mean that, along with all the Northern Ireland specific measures, these provisions will be temporary and renewable.
