EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make provision that is consequential on section 185 of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 ( 2022 c. 32). Section 185 inserts new section 43C into the Terrorism Act 2000 (c. 11), which confers a power to stop and search terrorist offenders released on licence. The new power will apply where an offender’s licence includes a search condition and the constable is satisfied that the search is necessary for purposes connected with protecting members of the public from a risk of terrorism.
Section 47AA of the 2000 Act imposes a requirement on the Secretary of State to prepare a code of practice containing guidance about the exercise of search powers that are conferred by that Act. The effect of regulation 2 is that the obligation will also apply to the new power.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for these Regulations as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
