Hello everybody, quick introduction: I'm a german student studying in Freiburg, south of Germany. I study political science and literature. Since I think about writing a paper about different national reactions after 9/11 I'm looking for some brainstorming help. I'm looking for laws, that were made for the war on terrorism, for national security, surveillance and controlling, reducing (political) freedom and executive rights. There were quite a few decisions in the US packed up in the "patriot act". I wonder if someone can tell me whether there were any such laws in the UK or not. Here in Germany for example we had only few laws immediatly after 9/11 adressing the terrorism thread or increasing national security and the executive rights of military e.g. But some decisions passed the parliament until today, that have to potential for an enormous change of our system of checks and balances. The parliament is discussing a decision right now, that gives the police a lot more executive rights. To point out my question once more: Which laws were made related to the war on terror, national security, surveillance, freedom rights and executive powers after 9/11? Anything similar to the patriot act or the development in Germany like I described above? Is there any website or documentation of the laws of the parliament of the UK, ordered chronologically and by keyword? I appreciate any help and sorry for my possibly bad english, greetings from germany sap
