Counter-terrorism
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the anti-terrorism measures proposed by the government of (1) France, and (2) Austria; whether they intend to introduce similar measures in the UK; and if not, why not.
- Answer
-
HMG already has robust counter-terrorism measures in place, which are outlined in the UK’s Counter-Terrorism Strategy (CONTEST). We continuously review these policies in light of new developments. We are closely monitoring France and Austria’s responses – and have been in discussions with both governments following the attacks - and will look to learn from these examples where they are applicable to the UK context.
