Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when she plans to bring forward legislative proposals to create the Protect Duty.
This question was answered on 9th December 2022
The first duty of the Government is to protect the public, and we are committed to improving the security of public places, to ensure the public can go about their lives freely and with confidence.
The commitment made to the ‘Protect Duty’ in the Queen’s Speech and the 2019 manifesto remains, and we are working hard to bring forward this important piece of legislation as soon as possible.
