# Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015, Section 4: Temporary exclusion orders: supplementary provision


(1) The Secretary of State must give notice of the imposition of a temporary exclusion order to the individual on whom it is imposed (the “excluded individual”).
(2) Notice of the imposition of a temporary exclusion order must include an explanation of the procedure for making an application under section 6 for a permit to return.
(3) A temporary exclusion order—
(a) comes into force when notice of its imposition is given; and
(b) is in force for the period of two years (unless revoked or otherwise brought to an end earlier).
(4) The Secretary of State may revoke a temporary exclusion order at any time.
(5) The Secretary of State must give notice of the revocation of a temporary exclusion order to the excluded individual.
(6) If a temporary exclusion order is revoked, it ceases to be in force when notice of its revocation is given.
(7) The validity of a temporary exclusion order is not affected by the excluded individual—
(a) returning to the United Kingdom, or
(b) departing from the United Kingdom.
(8) The imposition of a temporary exclusion order does not prevent a further temporary exclusion order from being imposed on the excluded individual (including in a case where an order ceases to be in force at the expiry of its two year duration).
(9) At the time when a temporary exclusion order comes into force, any British passport held by the excluded individual is invalidated.
(10) During the period when a temporary exclusion order is in force, the issue of a British passport to the excluded individual while he or she is outside the United Kingdom is not valid.
(11) In this section “British passport” means a passport, or other document which enables or facilitates travel from one state to another (except a permit to return), that has been—
(a) issued by or for Her Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom, and
(b) issued in respect of a person's status as a British citizen.
