threats to the UK and our interests overseas.

interests overseas to terrorist attack. This includes aviation security
for both cargo and passengers.

incidence of an ongoing attack and recover quickly and effectively
 Prevent – aims to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting
terrorism

individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance for those
with different faiths and beliefs" into their practice.
