Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 February 2025

Debate

Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill

Contribution

To further deliver that clarity and drive forward compliance, where those responsible for enhanced duty premises and qualifying events are not individuals—for example, if the responsible person is a company—they are required to designate a senior individual. The principal objective of this role is to ensure that organisations have a nominated individual who is responsible. That senior individual must be someone concerned with the management and control of the company or organisation, not somebody who is a lower-level employee. It needs to be somebody who is a director or a partner at that level. Senior individuals may of course delegate actions down, but they cannot delegate responsibility for the overall concepts of the Bill.
