Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order continues in force, with exceptions, the temporary provisions of the Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Act 1991 for the period from 16th June 1996 to 26th August 1996, when the Act is repealed altogether by virtue of section 69(9). The exceptions are section 34 and Schedule 3, which relate to the detention of terrorists and are not in force.

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. Those provisions are treated as part of the 1991 Act for the purposes of section 69(9), and are therefore repealed on the same day as the 1991 Act.
