Part 3: Prevention and investigation of terrorism Section 45: Persons vulnerable to being drawn into terrorism: timing of independent review
Section 45(1) amends section 20 of the CTBSA 2019 to remove the statutory deadlines relating to the independent review of the Prevent Strategy, that were provided by section 20(8) and (9) respectively. Section 45 does not amend the obligations to which the Secretary of State is subject under those provisions, other than the specified deadlines.
	Subsection (1) amends section 20(8) and (9) of the Counter-Terrorism Act 2019. Subsection (2) provides that the amendments made by section 45(1) are treated as having had effect from the time when section 20 of the CTBSA 2019 came into force. This provision is included to address any past periods during which the statutory deadline was not met.
