Public consultation: Terrorism Act 2000 Code of Practice

The Government is seeking views from all interested parties, individuals and groups from across the United Kingdom on the matters covered by this consultation.

Purpose of this consultation

Updating the current Code of Practice for the video recording with sound of interviews of persons detained at a police station in Northern Ireland under section 41 of, or Schedule 7 to, the Terrorism Act 2000 (TACT) requires secondary legislation which must be approved by both Houses of Parliament.
