Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 February 2025

Debate

Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill

Contribution

It is not about the physical things on a road outside of the control of a premises but about what measures the responsible person in the building might put in place in response to the type of attack that the noble Lord, Lord Hogan-Howe, mentioned or the issue of queues outside, for which they are directly responsible because of the actions of the organisers of the premises. There are ways in which we can examine the “immediate vicinity” while not putting responsibilities on people for things they do not have responsibility over. I hope that will reassure the noble Baronesses and that they will not press their amendments further.
