Part 2: The Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery (ICRIR) Information for prosecutors Section 26: Subsequent convictions: revocation of immunity
This section makes provision for the revocation of a grant of immunity from prosecution where a person is convicted of certain criminal offences.
	Under subsection (1), a criminal court sentencing a person convicted of an offence under section 27 (false statements) must, where the offence was committed in the course of that person requesting immunity from prosecution under section 19, revoke any grant of immunity from prosecution made as a result of that request.
	Subsection (2) applies where a person who has been granted immunity from prosecution is subsequently convicted of a terrorist offence or an offence with a terrorist connection, committed after immunity was granted. In those circumstances the sentencing court must revoke every grant of immunity given to the person before the offence was committed. Subsection (3) explains what a "terrorist offence" and an "offence with a terrorist connection" means in each of the three UK criminal jurisdictions for the purposes of this section.
	Subsection (4) clarifies the application of subsection (2) in cases where the relevant terrorist offence or offence with a terrorist connection is committed over a period of time, and a grant of immunity from prosecution is given at any time during that period. Subsection (5) makes clear that revocation of immunity under this section is immediate, and also clarifies that revocation of a grant of immunity does not prevent a person from making a further request. (Part 2 of Schedule 5 deals with requests that overlap with revoked immunities, and precludes a person being granted immunity from prosecution for offences which were within the scope of a previously revoked grant of immunity).
