Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 February 2025
Debate
Terrorism (Protection of Premises) BillContribution
The amendment stipulates that these accredited firms must operate under national guidelines for counterterrorism risk assessments and be subject to regular audits by the Security Industry Authority. This not only ensures that the private sector’s engagement is held to rigorous standards but establishes a framework of accountability and oversight. Such measures are essential to safeguard public confidence, ensuring that while we harness private enterprise we do not compromise on the quality or integrity of the security measures in place.
