British Home Secretary Charles Clarke has announced the end of the process of detaining terror suspects without trial.
Mr Clarke told the House of Commons today that the process will be replaced with a system of control orders.
These orders will include curfews, tagging and possibly a requirement for suspects to remain at their premises.
Britain's highest court ruled last month that the anti-terrorism laws under which 12 men were seized are illegal.
Deporting the men is ruled out because of possible persecution in their home countries.
The pressure group, Liberty, has said that it would oppose any form of house arrest that is for an indefinite period.
Meanwhile, the four British men who returned home from Guantanamo Bay yesterday have been released without charge after being questioned by anti-terrorist police.
