The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill has been introduced to Parliament
Following its announcement in the King's Speech on 17th July 2024, The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill – also known as Martyn’s Law, in memory of Martyn Hett, a victim of the Manchester Arena attack in 2017 – was introduced to Parliament on 12th September 2024.
The Bill will require those responsible for qualifying public premises and events to consider the threat from terrorism and implement appropriate and proportionate preparedness and mitigation measures to help keep people safe.
NPSA has a wide range of protective security guidance products relevant to public premises and events.
