New counter-terrorism proposals announced
The Home Secretary has announced to Parliament his intention to bring forward a new counter-terrorism bill later this year. Some of the measures that might be included in a future bill are briefly outlined in this content paper.
This is the start of a process of consultation with interested parties both inside and outside Parliament. This process will include publication of a fuller content paper in the next few weeks, the sharing of draft clauses later in the year and scrutiny by the Home Affairs Select Committee and the Joint Committee on Human Rights, before any legislation is introduced.
These legal measures are just one part of the Government's overall counter terrorism strategy. This includes a refocused Home Office with the creation of the Office for Security and Counter Terrorism that delivers a new drive, more cohesion and a greater strategic capacity in the fight against terror.
