47.In her oral statement on 26 January 2011, the Home Secretary indicated that the Government would place in the Library of the House of Commons draft emergency legislation which would, if enacted, extend the maximum period of pre-charge detention to 28 days for a period of three months. The Government would bring forward such legislation if there were exceptional circumstances where this longer period may be required. Two versions of the draft Counter-Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Bill were published on 11 February 2011 and are available at the Home Office website: Home Office. The draft Bills were subject to pre-legislative scrutiny by a Joint Committee of both Houses of Parliament which reported on 23 June 2011(17). The Government responded to that Report on 3 October; this response was published as a Command Paper Cm 8220 on 14 November 2011(18).
