Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

Apart from this Order, the temporary provisions of the Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Act 1991 would expire with 15th June 1992. They are currently in force by virtue of section 69(1) of the 1991 Act and the Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Act 1991 (Commencement) Order 1992 (S.I. 1992/1181). This Order continues in force the temporary provisions of the 1991 Act for a period of twelve months beginning with 16th June 1992, except for section 34 and Schedule 3. Those provisions relate to the detention of terrorists and are not in force because, by virtue of section 69(4) of the 1991 Act, the Secretary of State is deemed to have made an order under section 69(3)(b), suspending their operation.

This Order also continues in force for the same period the provisions referred to in section 27(11) of the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1989, which would but for this Order also expire with 15th June 1992.
