Draft Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill

Wednesday 22nd May 2024

Asked by: Derek Thomas (Conservative - St Ives)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when he plans to bring forward the Draft Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill.

Answered by Tom Tugendhat

The Government is committed to introducing this important piece of legislation to Parliament, as announced in the King’s Speech on 7 November.

The Government launched a public consultation on the requirements within the Standard Tier, which closed on 18 March. We are currently reviewing the consultation findings to ensure that all feedback is fully considered and that the measures included in Martyn’s Law are proportionate, and that they do not place an undue burden on premises within scope.

We will introduce the Bill as soon as parliamentary time allows, and I am happy to write to the Honourable Member and Parliament once the Bill is introduced.
