Temporary Provisions

In November 1974, Parliament passed the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act almost without amendment or dissent. The powers remained emergency “temporary” powers, but they had to be renewed each year.

They were renewed until 2000, when the more permanent Terrorism Act 2000 replaced them.
