 Regulation 18B
Regulation 18B was originally introduced to deal with certain members of the I.R.A., who were committing a number of senseless minor outrages in London.
Without this Regulation, no liege of His Majesty in the United Kingdom could be arrested and held in prison on suspicion.
18B enabled the medieval process of arrest and imprisonment on suspicion to be revived without the suspension of Habeas Corpus.

 Archibald Maule Ramsay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1940 his involvement with a suspected spy at the American embassy led to his internment under Defence Regulation 18B, the only British MP to suffer this fate.
Ramsay was arrested and lodged in Brixton prison on an order under Defence Regulation 18B on May 23, 1940.
As an 18B detainee, Ramsay's only legal method of challenging his detention was to appeal to the Advisory Committee under Norman Birkett which recommended continued detention.

 MI6 Skiver McIvor (Retired): Intelligence Services News
Defence lawyers put the media, bureaucracy and politicians together and say Britain now has a rolling conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
Shayler, who conducted his own defence in the trial, intended to call Bartlett and Watson as witnesses, but was prevented from doing so by the narrow focus of the court case.
These people would be considered for internment without trial under Defence regulation 18b in time of war or state of emergency.

The question before the House of Lords was a matter of the interpretation of Defence Regulation 18B which provided that the Home Secretary may order a person to be detained "if he has reasonable cause to believe" the person to be of hostile origin or associations.
But Lord Atkin's view on the interpretation of provisions such as Regulation 18B has prevailed: the Secretary of State's power to detain must be exercised on objectively reasonable grounds.
One cannot but be struck by the absence in the papers of any hint of sympathy to those who litigated, or any generosity of spirit to individuals none of whom had been charged or convicted of any crime.

The person responsible for ensuring the survival of the documents was Robert Saunders, District Treasurer for Dorset West before he became District Officer in 1936, and who, as a farmer, was particularly concerned about the depressed state of agriculture in the Depression.

The file for "correspondence received" during the months from June 1938 to March 1939, which is missing, may have been removed by Special Branch at the time of his arrest and not returned, though this is not certain.

 The Nameless War: Chapter 15 - Particulars Alledged as Reasons for My Detention   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
This Organisation, in reality, was designed secretly to spread subversive and defeatist views among the civil population of Great Britain, to obstruct the war effort of great Britain, and thus to endanger public safety and the defence of the Realm.
The formation of the Right Club, as the attached memorandum shows, was the logical outcome of many years of work against Bolshevism, carried on both inside and outside the House of Commons, and well-known to all my political colleagues since 1931.
To confuse sympathy on this one and loyal point with sympathy with the whole Nazi policy and aims is dishonest; to develop this fallacy into a charge of preferring that system to our own, and being prepared to force that system (of which I disapproved) upon my own country, is the last word in infamy.

 Diana Mosley
Each night brought an agonising wait: when the East End burned in the air raids, the women had no way of getting immediate news of their children, some of whom had been removed to orphanages, others farmed out to family or neighbours.
Most of these women were fascists, or presumed to be: members or wives of members of Sir Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists, locked up in Holloway prison in 1940 under Defence Regulation 18b.
This regulation allowed the British government to imprison suspects with no charge, no trial and no time limit.

 Ghost of a flea: Liberty and rough justice
In September 1862, Abraham Lincoln suspended habeas corpus (to the left of the Andrew's Excelsior Yeast Powder ad, "still the most desirable article for the Intelligent Housekeeper!").
In 1940, Winston Churchill introduced Defence Regulation 18b under which as many as a thousand British nationals were detained without charge or trial (something latter-day Mosleyites still have the nerve to complain about).
David Aaronovich explains that these sorts of actions were deemed necessary not only for the safety of the public but to protect those detained from the rough justice of the public should the executive power fail to act in their defense.
