TERROR suspects who have not been convicted of any crime could face indefinite controls on their freedoms such as tagging and enforced curfews under proposed new laws.

The Counter-Terrorism and Sentencing Bill, introduced in Parliament today, has been described by ministers as the largest overhaul of terrorist sentencing and monitoring in decades.

The proposed legislation is intended to extend terrorism-prevention and investigation measures (Tpims) and reduce the burden of proof required to use them.
