Proscribed Organisations: Appeals
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment her Department has made of the effectiveness of the appeals process for proscribed organisations to appeal their designated status.
Answered by Dan Jarvis
Section 4 of the Terrorism Act 2000 provides that any organisation or person affected by a proscription order can submit a signed, written application to the Home Secretary requesting that they consider whether a specified organisation should be removed from the list of proscribed organisations.
These processes have operated in a functional way since the legislation was originally introduced, and there are no current plans to change them.
