Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

Part 2 of the Terrorism Act 2000 (c.11) makes provision about proscribed organisations (including setting out offences in relation to such organisations in sections 11 to 13). An organisation is proscribed if it is listed in Schedule 2 to that Act or operates under the same name as an organisation so listed (section 3(1)).

The Proscribed Organisations (Name Change) Order 2017 (S.I. 2017/615) specified “Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham” as another name for the organisation listed in Schedule 2 as Al-Qa’ida.

Article 2 of this Order revokes the Proscribed Organisations (Name Change) Order 2017 meaning that Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham ceases to be treated as another name for Al-Qa’ida.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
