New Clause 13 - Requirement to register activities of specified persons

National Security Bill – in a Public Bill Committee at 2:15 pm on 18 October 2022.

Alert me about debates like this

“(1) A specified person must not carry out activities in the United Kingdom unless the activities are registered with the Secretary of State.

(2) The prohibition in subsection (1) does not apply to a foreign power.

(3) A person who breaches the prohibition in subsection (1) commits an offence if the person—

(a) knows, or

(b) ought reasonably to know,

that the activity in question is not registered.”—

This new clause requires registration of activities carried out in the UK by a specified person.

Brought up, read the First and Second time, and added to the Bill.
