<p>The Government intends to launch a public consultation on the proposed amendments to the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill’s Standard Tier. Premises that fall within the Standard Tier are smaller, with a capacity of 100 to 799 e.g. many retail stores, bars, restaurants, theatres and village halls.</p><p>The Government is launching this consultation to ensure the Bill strikes the right balance between protecting the public and avoiding undue burdens on smaller premises. The consultation will also provide those impacted by the Bill with an opportunity to offer in-depth views on the Standard Tier.</p><p>We intend to launch the consultation shortly and it will be live for 6 weeks. I will write to the Honourable Member and Parliament once the consultation is live.</p>
