asked Her Majesty's Government:

What are the terms of reference of the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, Lord Carlile of Berriew; and how much he is paid from public funds. [HL4430]

The terms of reference of the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation are set out in the Official Report of the House of Lords of 8 March 1984, which states that the reviewer should make detailed inquiries of people who use the Act, or are affected by it, and the reviewer may see sensitive material.

The reviewer receives payment at a rate of £900 per day plus expenses.
