These documents relate to the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill ('Martyn's Law') which received Royal Assent on 3 April 2025.
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill 2025, also known as Martyn’s Law, received Royal Assent on 3 April 2025.
This act delivers the government’s manifesto commitment to strengthen the security of public events and venues.
A tiered approach has been established under the act, with those responsible for premises and events in scope required to fulfil different requirements according to the number of individuals it is reasonable to expect may be present.
It will ensure the public are better protected from terrorism by requiring those responsible for certain public premises and events to take reasonably practicable steps to be prepared and ready to keep people safe in the event of an attack. Certain larger premises will be required to consider and, where appropriate, take steps to reduce their vulnerability to acts of terrorism.
