Part 5: Terrorism Amendments of Terrorism Act 2000 Section 93 and Schedule 17 Amendments of Terrorism Act 2000
This section introduces schedule 16, which makes amendments to the Terrorism Act 2000.
	Paragraph 1(2) and (3) of Schedule 16 amends section 41 of the Terrorism Act 2000 which provides a power of arrest without a warrant of a person who is suspected of being a terrorist. The amendment means that time initially detained under a separate provision, as listed in new section 41(3A) and which includes the power of arrest under section 24 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, will count towards the ‘detention clock’ if the individual is re-arrested under section 41.
	Paragraph 1(4) and (5) amend section 41 of the Terrorism Act 2000 to make clear that the ‘detention clock’ does not start to run when an individual is arrested in hospital, provided they are not being questioned for the purposes of obtaining relevant evidence.
	Paragraph 2(2) amends paragraph 3 of Schedule 5 to the Terrorism Act 2000 so that the power to search premises within a cordoned area can only be exercised in urgent cases. Finally, paragraphs 2(3) to (11) amend paragraph 5 of Schedule 5 to the Terrorism Act 2000 which provides a power for a police officer of at least the rank of superintendent to give authorisation for a search, which would otherwise require a search warrant, where the case is one of great emergency and immediate action is necessary. The amendments in this schedule create a requirement for judicial authorisation through a warrant if the police wish to retain confidential journalistic material seized during an urgent premises search.
