(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order brings into force on 20th December 2001 the provisions of the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 (the 2001 Act) which are set out in article 2.
The Order also amends the code of practice issued under paragraph 6(1) of Schedule 14 to the Terrorism Act 2000. The current code applies to the exercise of officers' functions in relation to the seizure, detention and forfeiture of terrorist cash under sections 24 to 31 of the Terrorism Act 2000. These provisions are repealed by section 1 of the 2001 Act and replaced by Schedule 1 to that Act. This requires consequential amendments to be made to the code and these are made by this Order.
