EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order disapplies section 25 of the Terrorism Act 2006 for a period of one year beginning with 25th July 2007. Without this Order the modifications in section 25 of that Act would take effect because section 25(1)(a) provides that section 25 is to apply to any time which is more than one year after the commencement of section 23. Section 23 was commenced on 25th July 2006 by S.I. 2006/1936.

Section 25 modifies the Terrorism Act 2000 (c. 11) to reduce the maximum period of detention under Schedule 8 to the Terrorism Act 2000 from 28 days to 14 days. Section 23 of the Terrorism Act 2006 increased the maximum period of detention from 14 days to 28 days. The modifications in section 25 will now take effect on 25th July 2008, unless a further Order is made.
