The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill
On Tuesday 7 November, the King's Speech announced The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill - known as Martyn’s Law - is set to become law.
The Bill will raise the security standard throughout the UK requiring a base level of security procedures to be in place at premises and events.
Ahead of introducing the Bill to Parliament, the government intends to seek views via a public consultation on the standard tier, to ensure the Bill strikes the right balance between public protection and avoiding undue burdens on smaller premises.
NPSA has a wide range of protective security guidance products relevant to public premises and events.
Further information on Martyn's Law can be found via the Home Office and ProtectUK websites.
