Proceeding contribution from Lord Thomas of Gresford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 2 July 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 (Foreign Travel Notification Requirements) Regulations 2009.
Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 (Foreign Travel Notification Requirements) Regulations 2009
My Lords, my only question is why is there a maximum five years’ imprisonment imposed for failing to do any of those things? For example, if a person comes back into this country and fails within three days to notify the police, he is subject to a potential sentence of imprisonment of up to five years. Is that the same for sex offenders when they travel abroad or is this just a figure that has been plucked from the air by the Government?
