Statute overview

About this statute

This provision sets out terrorism-related proscription powers, offences, exclusion orders, arrest powers, and related penalties. This segment gives the Secretary of State several regulation and order-making powers, sets rules for exclusion orders and detention, and creates offences for failing to comply with removal directions or ship/aircraft requirements. This provision lets courts register and enforce certain forfeiture and restraint orders from other UK jurisdictions and designated external jurisdictions, and it sets related powers, duties, compensation, and offence rules. This provision gives examining officers wide powers to search, detain, board and authorise searches, and requires travellers and transport operators on specified routes to provide cards, information, and compliance with examination arrangements. A superintendent or higher-ranking police officer may act quickly in a great emergency, issue written orders or notices, and require explanations from specified people. A constable may also open lockfast places if necessary. Failure to comply with a notice without reasonable excuse is an offence.
