Explanatory note

These Regulations prescribe the procedure for applications to the Secretary of State to exercise his power by order either to remove an organisation from the list of proscribed organisations in Schedule 2 to the Terrorism Act 2000 or to provide for a name to cease to be treated as another name for an organisation so listed. These Regulations differ from the Regulations revoked by regulation 1(2) in providing for that second type of application. The power to list alternative names by order was inserted in section 3 of the 2000 Act by section 22(2) of the Terrorism Act 2006. These Regulations do not otherwise differ in substance from the Regulations they revoke.
