|

| |
| | |
| To move the following Clause:— |
|
| | ‘(1) | The Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005 (c. 2) is amended as follows. |
|
| | (2) | For section 3 substitute— |
|
| | | “Power of court to make control orders |
|
| | (1) | On an application to the court by the Secretary of State for the making of |
|
| | a control order against an individual, it shall be the duty of the court— |
|
| | (a) | to hold an immediate preliminary hearing to determine whether |
|
| | to make a control order imposing obligations against that |
|
| | |
| | (b) | if it does make such an order against that individual, to give |
|
| | directions for the holding of a full hearing to determine whether |
|
| | to confirm the order (with or without modifications). |
|
| | (2) | The preliminary hearing under paragraph (a) of subsection (1) may be |
|
| | |
|
|
| |
| |
|
| | (a) | in the absence of the individual in question; |
|
| | (b) | without his having had notice of the application for the order; and |
|
| | (c) | without his having been given an opportunity (if he was aware of |
|
| | the application) of making any representations to the court; but |
|
| | this subsection is not to be construed as limiting the matters |
|
| | about which rules of court may be made in relation to that |
|
| | |
| | (3) | At the preliminary hearing, the court may make a control order against |
|
| | the individual in question if it appears to the court— |
|
| | (a) | that there is material which (if not disproved) is capable of being |
|
| | relied on by the court as establishing that the individual is or has |
|
| | been involved in terrorism-related activity; |
|
| | (b) | that there are reasonable grounds for believing that the |
|
| | imposition of obligations on that individual is necessary for |
|
| | purposes connected with protecting members of the public from |
|
| | |
| | (4) | The obligations that may be imposed by a control order in the period |
|
| | |
| | (a) | the time when the order is made; and |
|
| | (b) | the time when a final determination is made by the court whether |
|
| | |
| | include any obligations which the court has reasonable grounds for |
|
| | considering are necessary as mentioned in section 1(1C). |
|
| | (5) | At the full hearing held under paragraph (b) of subsection (1), the court |
|
| | |
| | (a) | confirm the control order made by the court; or |
|
| | |
| | and where the court revokes the order, it may (if it thinks fit) direct that |
|
| | this Act is to have effect as if the order had been quashed. |
|
| | (6) | In confirming a control order, the court— |
|
| | (a) | may modify the obligations imposed by the order; and |
|
| | (b) | where a modification made by the court removed an obligation, |
|
| | may (if it thinks fit) direct that this Act is to have effect as if the |
|
| | removed obligation has been quashed. |
|
| | (7) | At the full hearing, the court may confirm the control order (with or |
|
| | without modifications) only if— |
|
| | (a) | it is satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that the controlled |
|
| | person is an individual who is or has been involved in terrorism- |
|
| | |
| | (b) | it considers that the imposition of obligations on the controlled |
|
| | person is necessary for purposes connected with protecting |
|
| | members of the public from a risk of terrorism; and |
|
| | (c) | it has been informed by the Director of Public Prosecutions that |
|
| | there is no reasonable prospect of a successful prosecution of the |
|
| | individual for the terrorism-related activity. |
|
| | (8) | A control order ceases to have effect at the end of a period of 6 months |
|
| | beginning with the day on which it is made unless— |
|
| | (a) | it is previously revoked (whether at the hearing under subsection |
|
| | (1)(b) or otherwise under this Act); |
|
|
|
| |
| |
|
| | (b) | it ceases to have effect under section 4; or |
|
| | |
| | (9) | The court, on an application by the Secretary of State, may renew a |
|
| | control order (with or without modifications) for a period of 6 months |
|
| | from whichever is the earlier of— |
|
| | (a) | the time when the order would otherwise have ceased to have |
|
| | |
| | (b) | the beginning of the seventh day after the date of renewal. |
|
| | (10) | The power of the court to renew a control order is exercisable on as many |
|
| | occasions as the court thinks fit; but, on each occasion, it is exercisable |
|
| | |
| | (a) | the court considers that it is necessary, for the purposes |
|
| | connected with protecting members of the public from a risk of |
|
| | terrorism, for a control order to continue in force against the |
|
| | |
| | (b) | the court considers that the obligations to be imposed by the |
|
| | renewed order are necessary for the purposes connected with |
|
| | preventing or restricting involvement by that person in terrorism- |
|
| | |
| | (c) | the court has been informed by the Director of Public |
|
| | Prosecutions that there is no reasonable prospect of a successful |
|
| | prosecution of the individual for the terrorism-related activity. |
|
| | (11) | Where, on an application for the renewal of a control order, it appears to |
|
| | |
| | (a) | that the proceedings on the applications are unlikely to be |
|
| | completed before the time when the order is due to cease to have |
|
| | effect if not renewed, and |
|
| | (b) | that is not attributable to an unreasonable delay on the part of the |
|
| | Secretary of State in the making or conduct of the application, |
|
| | the court may (on one or more occasions) extend the period for |
|
| | which the order is to remain in force for the purpose of keeping |
|
| | it in force until the conclusion of the proceedings. |
|
| | (12) | Where the court exercises its power under subsection (11) and |
|
| | subsequently renews the control order in question, the period of any |
|
| | renewal still runs from the time when the order would have ceased to |
|
| | have effect apart from that subsection. |
|
| | (13) | It shall be immaterial, for the purposes of determining what obligations |
|
| | may be imposed by a control order made by the court, whether the |
|
| | involvement in terrorism-related activity to be prevented or restricted by |
|
| | the obligations is connected with matters in relation to which the |
|
| | requirements of paragraph (a) of subsection (3) or paragraph (a) of |
|
| | subsection (7) were satisfied.”’. |

|
|
| |
| |
|
| |
| |
| |
| | |
| To move the following Schedule:— |
|
| | |
| |
| | Admissibility of intercept and metering evidence |
|
| | 1 (1) | Notwithstanding section 17 of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act |
|
| | 2000 (c. 23) (“RIPA”), evidence of— |
|
| | (a) | the contents of an intercepted communication (“intercept evidence”), |
|
| | |
| | (b) | communications data (“metering evidence”), |
|
| | | shall be admissible in criminal proceedings to which this paragraph applies. |
|
| | (2) | This paragraph applies to— |
|
| | (a) | proceedings in respect of serious crime, and |
|
| | (b) | proceedings in respect of an offence or offences relating to terrorism. |
|
| | (3) | An application for permission to introduce intercept evidence or metering |
|
| | evidence, or both, may be made by the prosecution for the purpose of |
|
| | conducting a criminal prosecution to which this paragraph applies, and not |
|
| | |
| | (4) | Unless and until an application has been made by the prosecution in any such |
|
| | proceedings the provisions of section 17 of RIPA (exclusion of matters from |
|
| | legal proceedings) shall continue to apply in connection with those |
|
| | |
| |
| | Considerations for allowing intercept or metering evidence |
|
| | 2 | In deciding whether to admit intercept or metering evidence the court shall take |
|
| | account of all relevant considerations, including in particular— |
|
| | (a) | any application by the Secretary of State to withhold the evidence or |
|
| | part of the evidence on the ground that its disclosure, or the disclosure |
|
| | of facts relating to the obtaining of the evidence, would be contrary to |
|
| | |
| | (b) | any submission that the evidence was obtained unlawfully. |
|
| |
| | |
| | |
| | “communications data” has the same meaning as in section 21(4) of RIPA; |
|
| | “intercepted communication” has the same meaning as in section 4 of |
|
| | |
| | “RIPA” means the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (c. 23); |
|
| | “serious crime” has the same meaning as in section 81(2)(b) of RIPA; |
|
| | “terrorism” has the same meaning as in the Terrorism Act 2000 (c. 11). |
