Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures

Clause 17 of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill requires the Secretary of State to publish factors that she considers are appropriate to take into account when deciding whether to impose restrictions under paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 of the TPIM Act (travel restrictions).

The following factors are appropriate to take into account when deciding whether to impose restrictions under paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 of the TPIM Act (travel restrictions):

• the need to prevent or restrict a TPIM subject’s involvement in terrorism-related activity;
• the personal circumstances of the individual;
• proximity to travel links including public transport, airports, ports and international rail terminals;
• the availability of services and amenities, including access to employment, education, places of worship and medical facilities;
• proximity to prohibited associates;
• proximity to positive personal influences;
• location of UK resident family members;
• community demographics.

Decisions about whether to impose travel restrictions on a TPIM subject will be taken on a case-by-case basis and will reflect the need to minimise the risk that the individual poses to the public while taking into account the personal circumstances of the individual in question.
