Made
3rd July 2008
Coming into force
25th July 2008
This Order is made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 25(2) of the Terrorism Act 2006(1).
In accordance with section 25(6) of that Act, a draft of this Order was laid before Parliament and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament.
Accordingly, the Secretary of State makes the following Order:
1. This Order may be cited as the Terrorism Act 2006 (Disapplication of Section 25) Order 2008 and shall come into force on 25th July 2008.
2. Section 25 of the Terrorism Act 2006(2) is disapplied for a period of one year beginning with the coming into force of this Order.

(This note is not part of the Order)
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.
Section 25 of the 2006 Act modifies Schedule 8 to reduce the maximum period of detention under that Schedule from 28 days to 14 days. The modifications in section 25 will now take effect on 25th July 2009 unless a further Order is made under section 25(2).
