  @ MP voted against control orders in place when the Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures Bill comes into force remaining in place for 365 days, rather than 42 days, unless revoked or quashed.
  
  
  The majority of MPs voted against Control Orders in place when the Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures Bill comes into force remaining in place for 365 days, rather than 42 days, unless revoked or quashed.
  
  MPs were considering the Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures Bill[1]. The amendment rejected in this vote was:
  
  :Amendment (a) to Lords amendment 11.
  
  Lords amendment 11[2] stated:
  
  :Page 55, line 26, leave out â28â and insert â42â
  
  Amendment (a)[3] stated:
  
  :Line  1,  leave out â42â and insert â365â.
  
  The amendments relate to Schedule 8 of the Bill[4] which at the time of the vote defined the "transitional period" as follows:
  
  :âtransitional periodâ means the period of 28 days that begins with the
  day of commencement.
  
  Paragraph 1 of Schedule 8 stated:
  
  :A Control Order which is in force immediately before commencement is to remain in force until the end of the transitional period (unless revoked or quashed before the end of that period). 
  
  
  Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures (TPIMs) replaced Control Orders and are a civil preventative measure intended to protect the public from the risk posed by suspected terrorists who can be neither prosecuted nor, in the case of foreign nationals, deported, by imposing restrictions intended to prevent or disrupt their engagement in terrorism-related activity.[5]
  
  The threshold for the imposition of a TPIM is "reasonable belief that the individual is or has been involved in terrorism-related activity" which is considered a higher threshold than that required previously for a control order which was "reasonable suspicion" of involvement in such activity.
  
  TPIMs are subject to a two-year time limit and oversight by the courts.
