‘Martyn’s Law’ terrorism legislation has moved a step closer to becoming law – universities and NHS Trusts should prepare now

The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill has just moved a step closer to becoming law, with inclusion in the King’s Speech (November 2023). The government’s intention is clear; it wants ‘Martyn’s Law’ to be enacted as part of its upcoming 2023-24 legislative programme. This means that, within the next 12 months, universities and hospitals could find themselves subject to new security and safety requirements. They’ll have to comply with whatever inspection and enforcement regime is introduced after the law is passed. That may not happen immediately, but it is now looking much more likely, so preparing early is advisable. It’s also not hard and will deliver immediate benefits.
