The Civil Contingencies Bill, with the accompanying non-legislative measures, will deliver a single framework for civil protection in the United Kingdom.
"Sweeping new powers to tackle major terror attacks and other emergencies, have been proposed by ministers.
The Civil Contingency Bill will update emergency laws dating back 80 years.
It could allow ministers to ban access to sensitive sites, evacuate affected areas and stop public gatherings without Parliament's approval."
