Anti-Terrorism Crime and Security Act 2001:Disclosure of information (426 KB , PDF)
The National Security Bill 2022-23 was introduced in the House of Commons on 11 May 2022. It would replace existing counter-espionage laws with a comprehensive framework for countering hostile state activity analogous to the counter-terrorism framework established since 2000. It would also limit the availability of civil legal aid and damages to those connected with terrorist activity.
The National Security Bill is due to have its remaining stages on 16 November. This paper analyses the amendments made to the Bill in Committee and the main areas of debate so far.
This paper describes the functions and powers of the Intelligence and Security Committee, which is responsible for scrutinising the UK's intelligence and security agencies. It outlines reforms to the Committee under the Justice and Security Act 2013, and summarises recent inquiries.
