Draft Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department made an assessment of the potential merits of including unticketed events in the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill.
- Answer
-
An event must satisfy several criteria to be in scope of the Bill. One of these criteria is that the event must have employees, or other individuals involved in the event, checking that attendees have paid to attend the event, have an invitation granting access, or have a pass that grants access (which might include a free ticket).
Whilst this provision applies to paid-for events, this provision will also encompass free events, if there is a check that attendees satisfy a condition of entry as specified above.
We consider the ‘express permission’ requirement provides an appropriate basis to capture events where there is the resource and control to consider and take forward security requirements.
