Debate

Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill

Contribution

I will make my final comments, because I am testing everyone’s patience. It is good that the legislation uses the capacity of the venue to identify whether it falls in scope of the provisions. It is important to calculate capacity based on actual usage, rather than historical attendance figures. It is also important that the Bill incorporates the “reasonably practicable” test, which allows venues and premises to work with their specific circumstances and idiosyncrasies. That is an important component of this legislation and will make sure that it works effectively.
