The Terrorism Act 2006 (Disapplication of Section 25) Order 2008
This Order disapplies section 25 of the Terrorism Act 2006 (c.11) (‘the 2006 Act’) for a period of one year beginning with 25th July 2008. Without this Order the modifications in section 25 of the 2006 Act would take effect because section 25(1) provides that, unless disapplied by Order, that section is to apply to any time which is more than one year after the commencement of section 23 of that Act. Section 23 of the 2006 Act was commenced on 25th July 2006 by S.I. 2006/1936. It increased the maximum period of detention under Schedule 8 to the Terrorism Act 2000 (c.11) (‘Schedule 8’) from 14 days to 28 days.
