This Order brings into operation on 1st September 1995 a revised code of practice made under Schedule 5 to the Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Act 1991.

The revised code concerns the exercise by authorised investigators of the powers conferred by Schedule 5. The changes to the code concern paragraph 2(1A) of Schedule 5, which was inserted by section 83(3) of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 and under which an authorised investigator may specify the manner in which information is furnished to him.

The revised code is published by Her Majesty’s Stationery Office; copies may be obtained from HMSO bookshops.
