The Police (Detention and Bail) Act 2011 received Royal Assent on 12 July 2011 and came into force on the same day. The Act reverses the effect of R (on the application of Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police) v Hookway [2011] EWHC 1578 (Admin). The Act provides that periods on bail do not count towards the overall detention period. It does this by amending s. 47 and s. 34 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984.
