Part 2: Digital infrastructure Section 12: Disposal of seized property under Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006
Section 101 of the 2006 Act makes provision for the detention and disposal of property that has been seized by Ofcom, or by a person authorised by Ofcom. Subsection 101(5) sets out the period of time, following the end of the detention period authorised by subsection 101(2), after which Ofcom may dispose of property that remains in their possession.
	This section amends subsection 101(5) so that the time period that Ofcom is required to retain the property is 6 months following the end of the detention period authorised by section 101(2)(a), or, if section 101(2)(b) applies, 6 months following the end of the day on which the proceedings referred to in section 101(2)(b) were concluded.
