Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by David Heathcoat-Amory (Conservative). It was answered by Lord Hanson of Flint (Labour) on Monday, 8 February 2010 on behalf of the Home Office.
Stop-and-Search Powers
- Question
- What recent assessment he has made of the effectiveness of stop-and-search powers under section 44 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
- Answer
-
The Home Office and police keep the effectiveness of section 44 under constant review. The noble Lord Carlile, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, also reviews the operation of section 44 and reports his findings to Parliament. I believe that section 44 remains an important tool in countering the threat of terrorism.
