News:Control orders: BBC learns detail of replacement regime

The coalition is planning to replace control orders with a new package of restrictions to keep terror suspects under surveillance, the BBC's James Landale and Laura Kuenssberg have learned.

One working title for the new curbs are "surveillance orders".

They would restrict suspects' movements but end overnight curfews.

The future of the controversial anti-terror measure has been a cause of tension between Tories and Lib Dems.

Introduced under the former Labour government in 2005, control orders allow ministers to place a terrorism suspect under close supervision that some say is similar to house arrest.

Opponents say this infringes civil liberties, but supporters argue it is necessary to protect the public. The Lib Dem manifesto pledged to get rid of the "house arrest" element.more here
