(This note is not part of the Order)
Part 2 of the Terrorism Act 2000 makes provision about proscribed organisations (including the offences in respect of such organisations set out in sections 11 to 13). An organisation is proscribed if it is listed in Schedule 2 to that Act or operates under the same name as an organisation so listed (section 3(1)).
Section 3(6) of that Act (as inserted by section 22(2) of the Terrorism Act 2006) enables an order to provide that a name that is not specified in Schedule 2 to that Act is to be treated as another name for an organisation that is listed in that Schedule. Article 2(2) of this Order exercises this power to specify different names for the listed organisation referred to in article 2(1).
