"The law against torture still applies even if it's mentioned in another law."

Illustration for Corrections Act 2004

Nothing in the Corrections Act 2004 limits what is said in Part 2 of the Crimes of Torture Act 1989. You can still follow the rules in the Crimes of Torture Act 1989. This means that the Corrections Act 2004 does not change how the Crimes of Torture Act 1989 works.
