The death of control orders?

I doubt they have much future, now Alan Johnson has abandoned a second one since the Lords ruling in AF. I’m a bit surprised by the government’s approach – I’d expected them to fight, Ypres-style, over every inch of disclosure it was suggested they make. Clearly Johnson has decided it’s not worth it, at least in these cases; and perhaps Lord Carlile will recommend their abandonment in toto when he reports to the Home Secretary next year. It’ll be interesting to see how many, if any, of the remaining 14 orders he tries to maintain in the meantime.
