Mr. McNamara

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to amend section 14 of the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1989. [38902]

Mr. Michael

The future of all the provisions of the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1989, including section 14, and the Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Acts 1996 and 1998, is currently under consideration. The Government's thinking will be set out in the forthcoming consultation paper on permanent United Kingdom-wide counter-terrorism legislation.
