Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 February 2025

Debate

Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill

Contribution

One of the most compelling aspects of this amendment is its potential to reduce the burden on public sector resources. Our public security agencies are tasked with myriad responsibilities and often operate under significant resource constraints. By enabling the responsible person for any qualifying premises to contract with private security providers, the amendment effectively creates a partnership that eases the load on public sector agencies. This allows those agencies to focus on broader strategic priorities, while ensuring that individual premises benefit from specialised, expert support tailored to their unique security needs.
