Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 February 2025

Debate

Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill

Contribution

On Amendment 20, I took the definition of “immediate vicinity” to be enabling. First, it is saying to the person who has the premises not only to consider the safety of the people in it, but also people nearby who might be hurt from a terrorist act within it. We might imagine a bomb or a firearm that is discharged from the building. The organiser has to think about these things when planning the event.
