Paul Waugh

Labour (Co-op) — Rochdale

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 October 2024

Debate

Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill

Contribution

Many of my constituents in Rochdale will warmly welcome this Bill, particularly given that many of them were in the Manchester Arena on that dark day in 2017. I would like to suggest, though, that many small music venues worry about the proportionality of this Bill. Does the Minister want to give them reassurance that the voluntary scheme in Manchester has worked well so far, and that this revised version of the Bill will reduce the costs that were anticipated before?
