Explanatory Note

Section 72(4)(a) of the 2002 Act states that a person shall be presumed to have been convicted by a final judgement of a particularly serious crime and that he constitutes a danger to the community of the United Kingdom if he is convicted of an offence specified by order of the Secretary of State.

This Order specifies that an offence described in any of the six Schedules to it, each reflecting the differing territorial extent of offences, is specified for the purposes of section 72(4)(a). Schedule 1 describes offences that apply throughout the United Kingdom. Schedule 2 describes offences that apply only in England and Wales. Schedule 3 describes offences that apply only in Scotland.
