We are committed to introducing new legislation to ensure our security services and law enforcement agencies have the tools they need to disrupt state threats.

The Government is reviewing responses to the Public Consultation on legislative proposals to tackle state threats which concluded last year. Legislation will be introduced as soon as parliamentary time allows
