Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 February 2025

Debate

Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill

Contribution

The noble Lord will also know—we have talked about this on a number of occasions, both in Committee and at Second Reading—that we are trying to provide a framework for some minimalist but important conditions under Clauses 5 and 6 for organisations to take on board to ensure that they help prevent a terrorist attack by taking steps should the threat occur. He will know that the estimate of costs was around £330 per year for organisations in the standard tier, and around £5,200 per year for those in the enhanced tier. Again, that minimalist approach was meant to set down standards and requirements and to make a responsible person responsible for them.
