Protection for First Responders and Prison Officers Bill
Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.
This bill introduces new protections for first responders—defined as staff from the police and emergency health and fire services in the Crimes Act 1961 and the Summary Offences Act 1981—and prison officers.MP in charge
