## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)
The effect of this Order is that the maximum period of detention of terrorist suspects under Schedule 8 to the Terrorism Act 2000 (c.11) (‘Schedule 8’) remains at 28 days for another year with effect from 25th July 2009.
This Order disapplies section 25 of the Terrorism Act 2006 (c.11) (‘the 2006 Act’) for a period of one year beginning with 25th July 2009. Without this Order the modifications in section 25 of the 2006 Act would take effect because section 25(1) provides that, unless disapplied by Order, that section is to apply to any time which is more than one year after the commencement of section 23 of that Act. Section 23 of the 2006 Act was commenced on 25th July 2006 by S.I. 2006/1936. It increased the maximum period of detention under Schedule 8 from 14 days to 28 days.
Section 25 of the 2006 Act modifies Schedule 8 to reduce the maximum period of detention under that Schedule from 28 days to 14 days. The modifications in section 25 will now take effect on 25th July 2010 unless a further Order is made under section 25(2).
