Debate

Iranian State Threats

Contribution

I can also announce that training and guidance on state threats activity is now being offered by counterterrorism policing to all 45 territorial police forces across the UK. That will mean that when any front-line officer encounters a suspected state threats incident, they will know what to do and what to look for to ensure that our communities are kept safe. Furthermore, we have recently issued guidance on the National Security Act and how it applies to the UK security profession, including private investigators. That ensures that they are aware of the law and understand where they might be criminally liable if they were working for any foreign power such as Iran.
