Answer
The Terrorism (Protection of premises) draft Bill is currently undergoing pre-legislative scrutiny by the Home Affairs Select Committee (HASC). As part of this process, the Home Office have published a full Impact Assessment, which can be found on gov.uk.
A fundamental consideration when developing this draft Bill is proportionality, and it is vital that we balance this against the threat we face today.
