Measures to counter state threats (Parts 1 and 2) Review of the Operation of State Threats Legislation (Part 3)
Under section 36 of the Terrorism Act 2006 an independent reviewer for terrorism was created. The Independent Reviewers of Terrorism Legislation have scrutinised the operation of terrorism legislation and produced a number of reports since the role was established. The reviewer to be appointed under Part 3 is modelled on that provision and will perform a similar role for State Threats legislation.
	Paragraph 62 of Schedule 3 to the Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019 provides for the Investigatory Powers Commissioner to review the operation of the powers under that Schedule. The Act will transfer these review functions to the new independent reviewer to be appointed under Part 3.
