To abolish control orders and make provision for the imposition of terrorism prevention and investigation measures.
The provisions in the Bill follow on from the Coalition Government’s 'Review of Counter-Terrorism and Security Powers', published in January 2011.
The Bill abolishes the system of control orders, established under the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005, and replaces it with a new regime designed to protect the public from terrorism, called Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures.
