question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what measures they are implementing to reduce the risk of terrorist attacks in the UK.
tabling member printed	Lord Hay of Ballyore
uin	HL8827
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2023 answer text <p>CONTEST is the UK’s comprehensive counter terrorism strategy, and it’s overarching aim is to reduce the risk to the UK and its citizens and interests overseas from terrorism, so that our people can go about their lives freely and with confidence. As announced in October 2022, CONTEST is being updated to protect the public from new and emerging threats and will be published later this year.</p><p> </p><p>Since CONTEST was last published in June 2018, we have delivered a number of measures to reduce the risk of terrorist attacks. We have established the Counter-Terrorism Operations Centre, pulling together expertise and resource across police, intelligence agencies and the criminal justice system in order to better identify and tackle emerging threats. The Multi-Agency Centre works in partnership to better understand the national security risk posed by individuals who are or have been subject to national security investigations, bringing together existing expertise within the counter-terrorism community and working in partnership with experts in offender management, social care and safeguarding.</p><p> </p><p>The Home Office is in the process of setting up an assurance programme to oversee delivery of accepted recommendations from the Manchester Arena Inquiry. We are committed to implementing the recommendations of The Independent Review of Prevent swiftly, with the majority within one year of publication. This will pave the way for a more transparent, efficient, and sustainable Prevent programme.</p><p>We have also strengthened our legislation; The Counter Terrorism and Border Security Act received Royal Assent in 2019 to ensure the police, Security Services, prosecutors, and the judiciary have the powers they need to tackle the evolving threat posed to the UK by terrorism. Martyn’s Law, which is currently is undergoing pre-legislative scrutiny, will keep people safe by introducing proportionate new security requirements for certain public venues to ensure preparedness for, and protection from, terrorist attacks. The Online Safety Bill, which will make tech companies will be accountable to an independent regulator to keep their users safe is currently progressing through the House of Lords.</p> answering member printed Lord Sharpe of Epsom question first answered 11/07/2023 16:18:04 answering member 4888 label Biography information for Lord Sharpe of Epsom

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government, in relation to Schedule 3 to the Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019, how many UK citizens have (1) been questioned under the power in paragraph 1, (2) been detained under the power in paragraph 4, and (3) had articles retained under the power in paragraph 11.
tabling member printed	Lord Skidelsky
uin	HL2616
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2022 answer text <p>Schedule 3 helps protect public safety by allowing counter-terrorism police to conduct a Schedule 3 stop and examination of a person at the border for the purpose of determining whether they appear to be someone who is involved in hostile activity. Hostile State Actors may be highly sophisticated and have significant operational capability.</p><p>It is because of this that the Government has decided to take a more cautious approach to the publication of statistics relating to the use of Schedule 3 powers and will not comment on operational matters.</p><p>Information and statistics related to the use of Schedule 3 powers are made available to the Investigatory Powers Commissioner in support of his statutory oversight function and to inform his annual report.</p> answering member printed Lord Sharpe of Epsom question first answered 24/10/2022 14:30:18 answering member 4888 label Biography information for Lord Sharpe of Epsom

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/04/2022 answer text <p>We do not record misogynistic views routinely, and therefore we are unable to analyse Counter-Terrorism Policing referral and Home Office Channel data to draw this out</p><p>Involuntary celibate (Incel) ideologies, which are commonly linked with misogyny, make up a small fraction of Prevent referrals.
