  Counter-Terrorism Bill - Independent legal advice - 42 days
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  The majority of MPs voted to extend the period of police detention without making any criminal charges of terrorist suspects from 28 days[1] to 42 days, subject to a complex series of beaurocratic controls.
  
  These conditions include:
  
  
  * A report must be made by the Director of Public Prosecutions and the chief police officer stating that they  are satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for believing that the detention of one or more persons beyond 28 days will be necessary to obtain or preserve evidence that relates to the commission by the detained person or persons of a serious terrorist offence
  
  * more to follow
