The Security Industry Authority (SIA) welcomed the news that the SIA is to come under the portfolio of the Minister of State for Security, Dan Jarvis, in the Home Office.
In a joint statement issued now, Heather Baily, Chair of the SIA and Michelle Russell, Chief Executive of the SIA, said: "We very much welcome this move as it ensures that both functions of the SIA, which include the existing regulation of the private security industry and the new Martyn’s Law regulator function, complement each other. This will improve protective security and security standards at venues across the UK."
