Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 February 2025

Debate

Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill

Contribution

First, I want to highlight the amendments relating to training. Amendment 25, which allows the Secretary of State to provide resources for initial training and advice, makes an important point to note. Without proper training, even the most well-intentioned operators of qualifying premises will struggle to implement the Bill’s provisions effectively. Building on this, Amendment 26 proposes a detailed training framework that covers vital aspects such as monitoring premises, evacuation procedures, physical security and the dissemination of security information. This amendment mandates the development of a training implementation plan to encourage widespread adoption.
