The exclusion orders were used by the British government to ban prominent Sinn Fein MPs like Gerry Adams to enter Great Britain, and was later held to ban the broadcast of their voices on television and radio.

Was the latter part done under the exclusion orders? In my original version I didn't make that claim, just that the act did. Morwen 18:37, Dec 23, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Article title

I was wondering how we'd handle this now. Wouldn't it be better to call this one Prevention of Terrorism Acts (1974-1989) or something? Whilst they were introduced and mainly used to deal with Irish terrorism, I'm not sure it's the best or most encyclopædic title we could use… — OwenBlacker 01:07, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)

Prevention of Terrorism Acts (Northern Ireland) would be fine IMO. We should probably have articles on all the Acts in the end, of course...

I just had to move it and picked one. I'd be ok with a further move to a better place. Morwen - Talk 20:39, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
