Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 February 2025
Debate
Terrorism (Protection of Premises) BillContribution
When I thought about speaking on this, I thought: how is it going to seem, right at the end of the Bill, if I stand up and say that going to the pub and going out clubbing is more important than public safety? I was frightened that might be the interpretation, which is why I tried to give myself a bit of cover by quoting the Prime Minister. I do not think that fear of the unintended consequences of potential mission creep, or things that have not been seen, or the impact on an industry, should be treated as trivial.
