The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill, also known as Martyn’s Law, was included in The King’s Speech on 17 July 2024. The Bill was introduced to Parliament on 12 September 2024 and is currently undergoing Parliamentary scrutiny. It will raise the security standard throughout the UK requiring a base level of security procedures to be in place at premises and events. It will enhance public safety by ensuring there is better preparedness for, and protection from, terrorist attacks. It will establish a tiered model, linked to the activity of the premise or event and its capacity: Enhanced tier – This will apply to premises and events with a capacity of 800 or more individuals. Standard tier – This will apply to premises and events with a capacity of between 100 and 799 individuals. The Bill is widely known as Martyn’s Law, in tribute to Martyn Hett who was tragically killed in the Manchester Arena terrorist attack in 2017, alongside 21 others.
