asked Her Majesty's Government:

Why the second report of the independent reviewer pursuant to Section 14(3) of the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005 by Lord Carlile of Berriew, dated November 2006, was not published until 19 February 2007.

Lord Carlile's second annual report pursuant to Section 14(3) of the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005 is dated January 2007, not November 2006. It was published as soon as practicable, given the February Recess. His additional report on the Secretary of State's quarterly reports to Parliament under Section 14(1) of the 2005 Act is dated November 2006; that was published in December 2006 and is also included as an annexe to his second annual report on the 2005 Act.
