UK Offence Report

Notification of information

regulation 5(2) of The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) (Notification Requirements) Regulations 2026

This offence was read from the text as made, and no revised version was available, so a later revocation could not be ruled out. Check the current text at legislation.gov.uk.

What the provision says

2 A notification made in relation to a qualifying event must include— a the information set out in Parts 1, 3 and 4 of the Schedule, b confirmation that the person submitting the notification is— i the responsible person, or ii authorised to do so on behalf of the responsible person, and c confirmation that the person submitting the notification is aware that knowingly or recklessly providing false or misleading information is an offence under section 25 of the Act.

Who it binds, and what has to be proved

Binds
a person
Conduct
making a false or misleading statement
Fault element
Requires proof of a state of mind
Burden of proof
No statutory defence — prosecution proves everything

The prosecution must prove both that the conduct happened and that it was done with the state of mind the provision names (knowingly, knowingly or recklessly, recklessly).

The provision states no defence, so the prosecution bears the burden on every element of the offence.

Classifier’s reasoning: mens rea word in the offence-creating words: knowingly, recklessly, knowingly or recklessly.

What would breach regulation 5(2)?

These are illustrations, not law. They are generated from the provision’s own words to show the shape of the offence. Whether any particular conduct is caught depends on the full text, on any amendment since, and on the facts.

  1. Entering a figure on a form or return that is known to be wrong under the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) (Notification Requirements) Regulations 2026.
  2. Leaving out something the form asks for, where the omission is what makes the answer misleading.
  3. Producing a document to an official that has been altered since it was issued.

Penalty

Mode of trial
Set by another provision — the instrument states the penalty by reference to an Act or to another regulation
Maximum fine
Not determined
Maximum prison (summary)
Not determined

The instrument does not state a penalty itself. It sets one by reference to section 25 of the Act.

penalty is that of the referenced enactment; not stated in this instrument.

No penalty was determined from this instrument. It may be in the enabling Act, or in a general penalties provision this pass did not connect to the offence. Absence of a figure here is not evidence that the offence carries no penalty.

Sentencing

Offences of this kind are usually sentenced under the guidelines below. This is a mapping by subject, not a finding about this provision, and the links go to a search of the Sentencing Council’s own site.

Prosecution figures

No published per-offence figure was found for this provision, and it could not be matched to a Ministry of Justice offence code. Offences created by statutory instrument very largely do not have one. Absence of a figure is not evidence that the offence is unused.

What the instrument is for

(This note is not part of the Regulations) — the explanatory note published with the instrument, © Crown copyright.

These Regulations make provision in relation to the information which must be provided to the Security Industry Authority by a person who is, or has been, responsible for qualifying premises or a qualifying event under section 9 of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 (c. 10) (“the Act”). Regulation 3 specifies the time when the information must first be provided to the Security Industry Authority, and when, if necessary, that information must be corrected. Regulation 4 specifies who may provide the information. Regulation 5, and the Schedule to the Regulations, state what information is to be included in notifications to the Security Industry Authority and how that information is to be provided. Regulation 6 makes the person responsible for the qualifying premises or qualifying event responsible for correcting any information notified to the Security Industry Authority which has ceased to be accurate. Regulation 7 requires the Secretary of State to carry out a review of the regulatory provision made by the Regulations. A full impact assessment of the effect that the notification requirements under the Act will have on the costs of business, the voluntary sector and the public sector is included in the impact assessment published with the Act which is available at https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2025/10/impacts, or from the Home Office, 2 Marsham Street, London SW1P 4DF. A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant additional impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.

How this became law

This instrument became law without a debate or a vote. Under the negative procedure it took effect unless a motion to stop it succeeded, and none was tabled.

Neither House could have amended it. A statutory instrument is put to each House as a whole thing, to be approved or not; the Houses can reject an instrument or record their regret, but they cannot change a word of it. That is the constitutional position for every offence on this site.

How this was identified as an offence

Everything above rests on the judgement that this provision creates a criminal offence, rather than mentioning one. That judgement is made by rule, from the words of the provision, and this is the rule that made it — with a confidence of 0.62.

Basis
the provision says an offence is committed “if” something happens
Confidence
0.62 of 1.00

A provision that states a penalty for an offence created elsewhere can read very like one that creates an offence, and the rules can mistake the one for the other. If the text quoted above sets a penalty for something made an offence by another provision, treat the classification on this page with that in mind, and read the instrument.
