Baroness Sharples

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When they expect Lord Jellicoe's review of the Prevention of Terrorism legislation to be published.

Lord Elton

: The report of my right honourable and noble friend Lord Jellicoe of his review of the operation of the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1976 is published today. My right honourable friend the Home Secretary is most grateful to Lord Jellicoe for making such a careful and perceptive study. The Government will wish to take full account of views which may be expressed in Parliament and elsewhere. My right honourable friend hopes to make known the Government's preliminary reaction to some of the recommendations when the renewal of the 1976 Act is considered in a few weeks' time.
