Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 March 2025

Debate

Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill

Contribution

My benchmark is the figure of 200, or 800 for the higher tier. The proposals in Amendments 1 and 4 would frustrate the Bill’s objectives to create a consistent level of preparedness and protection across the United Kingdom, and the term “time to time” to assess the number of individuals expected to be present on the premises would ensure that the objectives of the Bill were not met, so I cannot support the amendments put before the House today by the noble Lord.
