HC Deb 18 February 1997 vol 290 c525W
Mr. Nicholls

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he intends to publish the report from Mr. J. J. Rowe QC on the operation in 1996 of the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1989; and if he will make a statement. [16841]

Mr. Howard

I have today arranged for copies of Mr. Rowe's report to be placed in the Library. Mr. Rowe recommends that the legislation should be renewed in its entirety for a further 12 months. This is also the Government's view and a draft order to give effect to this is being laid before the House today.
