Risk of terror attack in UK is rising, report warns as government confirms commitment to Martyn's Law
The risk of a terror attack in the UK is rising according to a new report as the government has confirmed its commitment to Martyn's Law.
She went on to reference the Manchester Arena bombing of 2017, since which the government has opened the CTOC - Counter-Terrorism Operations Centre and added that law enforcement and intelligence agencies have improved powers. In December 2022, the government announced that Martyn’s Law will introduce a tiered model for certain locations depending on the capacity of the premises or event and the activity taking place. The legislation will ensure venues are prepared for and ready to respond to an attack.
"I have set a very clear expectation that we must not focus only on stopping attacks. It is vital – literally vital – that we attack the threat at its source, by taking on and disrupting the radicalising influence of those who spread extremist ideology." The terror threat to the UK is dominated by individuals or small groups which are harder for law enforcement and security services to detect. The primary threat is from Islamist extremism, which accounts for 67 per cent of attacks since 2018, around 75 per cent of MI5 caseload and 64 per cent of those in custody for terrorism.
