What the new law says
Section 76 of the newly introduced Terrorism Act 2008 states: 'A person commits an offence who elicits or attempts to elicit information about an individual who is or has been: a member of Her Majesty's forces, a member of any of the intelligence services, or a constable, which is of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism, or publishes or communicates any such information.' The law adds that a person found guilty of such an offence faces up to ten years in prison or a fine, or both.
