Chapter 3 – Powers of Entry, Search and Seizure
Additional powers of entry, search and seizure
Section 92: Power to make provision conferring powers of entry and search after arrest

202.This section gives the Secretary of State power to make by order provision dealing with the entry and search of premises controlled by a person arrested under section 67 who is being held in service custody without being charged. The provision that may be made would be equivalent to that in section 18 of PACE, subject to such modifications as the Secretary of State thinks appropriate for the service context.
