First report of the independent reviewer pursuant to section 14(3) of the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005
An independent review by Lord Carlile of Berriew of section 14(3) of the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005.
Parliament repealed the powers of detention of terrorism suspects provided by the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001, Part 4. The repeal followed the decision of the House of Lords.
The 2001 Act powers permitted the detention, subject to ensuing review and appeal, of foreign nationals who were suspected of being international terrorists.The provisions were introduced following the aircraft bombing of the World Trade Centre in New York on the 11th September 2001.
The Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005 replaced the 2001 Act detention powers with a system of control orders, the Act came into force on Royal Assent, on the 11th March 2005, following very intensive Parliamentary stages.
