This Bill places a legislative requirement on the responsible person for enhanced-tier premises to ensure, as far as practical, that measures relating to the physical safety of individuals and the security of the premises are in place. The proposals in the Bill are complementary to the objectives of planning regimes, and I hope that the amendment is not necessary because that parallel structure is in place. I hope that the important points that have been made by noble Lords, including the point made by the noble Baroness on the Liberal Democrat Front Bench, are part of the consideration of that.
