Home Secretary Priti Patel on why new terror laws are needed

Priti Patel has told LBC that the emergency anti-terror legislation being pushed through parliament on Wednesday is necessary to "keep people safe on the streets".

MPs passed the Terrorist Offenders Bill through all its Commons stages on Wednesday and it will now progress to the Lords for further scrutiny.

The Home Secretary said: "As we saw in December last year, and just two weekends ago in Streatham, where we have had individuals that have been convicted for terrorist offences, they were released from prison early under the automatic early release scheme where they had no contact with a parole board, so no engagement whatsoever and they were then released from prison."
