PM Reveals New Measure To Tackle British Jihadists
The Prime Minister has confirmed he is considering the introduction of 'special exclusion orders' – a new measure to prevent British jihadists who travel abroad to fight from returning to the UK.
Mr Cameron revealed the plan in an address to the Australian parliament; he is in the country for the G20 summit.
Under the new measures suspected jihadists could be barred from re-entering the UK for up to two years, unless they agree to strict controls.
The measures form part of a new Counter-Terrorism Bill, which is due to be published by the end of the month, and possibly made law by the end of January, 2015.
