| The 2005 Anti-terror Law
was passed on Friday March 11th after more than 30 hours of debate. The original
bill was changed after it was rejected by the Lords
after passing the Commons. The new
anti-terror act had two major changes to the original bill - a judge will impose
'control orders' and not the Home Secretary and a 'sunset clause' was added,
though Tony Blair stated that it was not a 'sunset' clause while Michael Howard
claimed that it was. What are the main points of the act?
