(c) the day on which the TPIM notice will expire;

and, in the case of a revival or extension notice, “TPIM notice” means the TPIM
10notice which is revived or extended by that notice.

(2) An individual is not bound by—

26 Interpretation etc

(1) 15In this Act—

(2) In a case where—

(a) a TPIM notice has come into force in relation to an individual, and

(b) by virtue of the coming into force of that TPIM notice, terrorism-related
10activity which occurred before the coming into force of that notice has
ceased to be new terrorism related activity (within the meaning of
section 3(6)) in relation to that individual for the purposes of that
section,

the Secretary of State is not prevented from taking account of that activity for
15the purposes of the continued imposition, or subsequent imposition, of
measures on that individual.

(3) For the purposes of the definition of “new terrorism-related activity” in section
3, if a TPIM notice is revived under section 13(6), a reference to the notice
coming into force is a reference to it coming into force by virtue of section 5(1)
20(and not to it coming back into force by virtue of section 13(9)).

(4) For the purpose of determining what measures may be imposed on an
individual, it is immaterial whether the involvement in terrorism-related
activity to be prevented or restricted by the measures is connected with matters
to which the Secretary of State’s belief for the purpose of condition A relates.

(5) 25A failure by the Secretary of State to consider an application by an individual
for—

(a) the revocation of a TPIM notice, or

(b) the variation of measures specified in a TPIM notice,

is to be treated as a decision by the Secretary of State not to revoke, or not to
30vary, the TPIM notice.

(6) Subsections (2) to (5) apply for the purposes of this Act.

27 Short title, commencement and extent

(1) This Act may be cited as the Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures
