HC Deb 28 June 1999 vol 334 cc9-10W
Mr. Lidington

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence on what date his Department was first informed that Parts IVA and IVB of the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1989 were no longer in force. [88795]

Mr. Doug Henderson

My Department, together with others, was informed earlier this month that there was some doubt whether these provisions had been effectively renewed by the 1998 and 1999 Continuance Orders, and that advice was being sought on this point.
