132.Paragraph 1 is similar to the power of the Secretary of State under the PTA to direct the places at which persons detained under section 41 or Schedule 7 shall be detained. Paragraphs 2–20 make provision for those detained under the Act’s arrest and detention procedures including that steps may be taken to identify them; that fingerprints, intimate samples (e.g. DNA) and non-intimate samples (e.g. hair) may be taken; and the limited circumstances in which a detainee may be kept incommunicado or without access to legal advice. Paragraph 3 provides that interviews at a police station must be audio recorded in compliance with a Code of Practice. It also provides an order-making power whereby similar provision may be made in respect of video recording.
