Control orders — Annual renewal 2008 — 21 Feb 2008 at 15:15

The majority voted to approve a Statutory Order[1] to renew the powers of the Government to make make Control Orders, a form of house arrest for terrorist suspects.

According to the weak sunset clause in the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005,[2] Parliament must vote every year to continue these powers or they will lapse.

The Conservative Party abstained as a block on this vote, while voting in favour of it during its renewal the year before.[3]
