National Security (State Threats) Bill: Committee and Remaining Stages

The Commons will consider committee stage and remaining parliamentary stages of the National Security (State Threats) Bill. This legislation creates a new criminal offence and enforcement powers targeting espionage, sabotage, and hostile state activity against the UK. The bill tightens existing security law to counter threats from foreign powers and adversarial states.

This bill extends the criminal law framework governing national security and gives agencies new tools to prosecute and prevent state-sponsored threats. It affects law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and the criminal justice system, and may broaden what conduct can be treated as a security offence. The legislation is part of the government's response to heightened state threats, particularly from Russia and China.
