Terrorism: Control Orders

Volume 470: debated on Tuesday 8 January 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people who have been acquitted of terrorism charges are subject to control orders restricting their movements. (174158)

We are not prepared to say how many people who have been acquitted of terrorism charges are subject to control orders restricting their movements. This is because of the need to protect controlled persons’ identities (most controlled persons are subject to an anonymity order imposed by the court which prohibits us from publishing information that would allow the public to identify him as being subject to a control order) and the national security sensitivity of individual cases.
