Emergency legislation to block the automatic early release of people convicted of terror offences has become law after receiving royal assent.
Deputy Speaker Nigel Evans told MPs that the Terrorist Offenders (Restriction of Early Release) Bill had become an act.
The legislation, which will affect about 50 prisoners, was drawn up following an attack in south London.
The attacker, Sudesh Amman, had recently been freed from prison.
The government wanted to pass the bill before 28 February when the next terror offender is due for release.
