Answers

1. Section 39 of the Terrorism Act 2000 was amended by s 117(1)(3) of the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001. If you look at the entry in the Chronological Table of the Statutes provided in Extract 2.3 you will see:

s 39 am—Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security, 2001 c 24, s 117(1)(3)
Here ‘am’ is the abbreviation for ‘amended’.
