The Home Secretary announced on 20 May that he intended to consider the case for designating any part of Syria, with a focus on Idlib and North-East Syria, under section 58C of the Terrorism Act 2000 as amended by the Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019. That review is ongoing and any decision to exercise this power will be announced in due course.
