Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill 2024
These documents relate to the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill which was introduced in the House of Commons on 12 September 2024.
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill, also known as Martyn’s Law, was included in the King’s Speech on 17 July 2024 as part of the programme of legislation in this Parliamentary session.
The bill was introduced to Parliament on 12 September 2024.
The bill will ensure that certain premises and events are better prepared and ready to respond to a terrorist attack.
The bill establishes a tiered approach, linked to the activity that takes place at qualifying premises or events and the number of individuals it is reasonable to expect may be present at the same time.
It will require those responsible for certain premises and events to take steps to mitigate the impact of a terrorist attack and reduce harm in the event of one occurring.
Those responsible for certain larger premises and events must also take additional steps to reduce vulnerability to terrorist attacks.
