(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order extends by two years the duration of transitional provision for Northern Ireland in connection with the coming into force of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (c. 9) ("the Act") (destruction, retention and use of biometric data).
Article 7 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (Destruction, Retention and Use of Biometric Data) (Transitional, Transitory and Saving Provisions) Order 2013 (SI 2013/1813)("the 2013 Order") provides that material taken, held or (in the case of a DNA profile) derived from a sample taken, under the Terrorism Act 2000 (c. 11), the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 (c. 28) or the Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures Act 2011 (c. 23) before the coming into force of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of the Act ("pre-commencement material") is not subject to the relevant destruction requirements contained in Schedule 1 to the Act until 31st October 2016.
Articles 2, 3 and 4 of this Order have two effects. One is to exclude Northern Ireland pre-commencement material from the scope of Article 7 of the 2013 Order. The other is to extend by two years the transitional period in respect of such material, with the effect that Northern Ireland pre-commencement material is not subject to the destruction requirements contained in Schedule 1 to the Act until 31st October 2018.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
