Notification requirements may be a reasonable measure for particularly serious crimes where there exists a risk of recidivism. The order could be appealed to the Crown Court.
A chief officer of police could apply to the local magistrates court for such an order to be imposed. Those subject to notification requirements could also be subject to an order prohibiting foreign travel (Schedule 6). A breach of notification requirements would be a criminal offense punishable by up to five years in prison. This procedure requires both houses of Parliament to approve the draft order before it is made. The bill would allow the Home Secretary to prescribe other information to be notified to the police on a case by case basis (clause 58), including advance details of foreign travel (clause 63), subject to affirmative resolution procedure. 18 Those sentenced to between one and five years imprisonment would be subject to notification obligations for a ten-year period, while those sentenced to more than five-years would be subject to lifetime notification obligations. Upon release from custody, any such person would be required to register his or her name and address at the local police station, and inform police of any other address used for seven days or more, or for two periods during a year which taken together add up to seven days. Part 4 of the bill (clauses 51-68) creates notification requirements for individuals convicted of a terrorism offense or an offense with a terrorist connection, and sentenced to at least one year imprisonment.
