The indefinite notification requirements in section 82(1) of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 have been declared under section 4 of the Human Rights Act 1998 to be incompatible with a Convention right.
The Secretary of State considers that there are compelling reasons for proceeding by way of remedial order to make such amendments to the Sexual Offences Act 2003 as she considers necessary to remove the incompatibility.
In accordance with paragraph 2(a) of Schedule 2 to the Human Rights Act 1998, a draft of this instrument was laid before Parliament and was approved by resolution of each House of Parliament, a document containing a draft of this instrument having previously been laid before Parliament in accordance with paragraph 3(1) of that Schedule.
Accordingly, the Secretary of State makes the following Order in the exercise of the powers conferred by section 10(2) of, and paragraph 1(1)(a), (c) and (d), (2) and (3) of Schedule 2 to, the Human Rights Act 1998.
