Following the publication on 10 January 2022 of the Government’s response to the Protect Duty public consultation, which ran from February 26 to July 2, 2021, Axis Communications’ Steven Kenny, Industry Liaison, Architecture and Engineering, examined the assessment.
Steven Kenny said, “Axis welcomes the response from Government and, indeed, from the majority of respondents to the consultation who support tougher security measures to ensure preparedness for and protection from terrorist attacks. It is clear now that the Government intends to take forward legislation to create a culture of security, with a consistency of application and a greater certainty of effect.”
