The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill - Consultation Now Live
The Home Office has launched a public consultation on the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill, also known as Martyn’s Law, regarding revised proposals for the Standard Tier (public premises with a maximum occupancy of 100 – 799).
The consultation will run for six weeks and further details are available from Martyn's Law: standard tier consultation - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
The Government reaffirmed its commitment to introducing this important piece of legislation in the King’s Speech in November 2023. However, recognising the feedback provided during pre-legislative scrutiny and through our engagement with stakeholders, the Government committed to a further public consultation, specifically on the Standard Tier. This is to ensure the public and those impacted by the proposals have the opportunity to offer in-depth views on the Standard Tier, prior to the legislation’s introduction to Parliament.
