These are supplementary documents that relate to the Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Bill 2018. The bill aims to reduce the threat posed by terrorism and hostile state activity by:
- updating terrorism offences for the digital age, and to reflect contemporary patterns of radicalisation
- disrupting terrorism by enabling the police and Crown Prosecution Service to intervene at an earlier stage in investigations
- ensuring that sentences properly reflect the severity seriousness of terrorism offences, and strengthen the ability of the police to manage terrorist offenders after their release
- strengthening the country’s defences at the border against hostile state activity
