PM Sets Out Plan To Deal With UK Threats
London, England
Posted: 20th, Mar. 2008

British PM Gordon Brown has set out plans to deal with national emergencies such as necro-mortosis outbreaks and other disease pandemics, terrorists attacks and flooding.

This 'National Security Strategy' as it has become termed, also proposes that the "national register of risks" be made available to the public for the first time.

The prime minister listed several new initiatives.

T he number of Britain's security service staff would rise to 4,000.

There would be a bold new strategy to secure the UK against illegal M-Bomb factories.

He also said there would be a 1,000 person emergency medical task force to be available for dispatch to outbreak 'hot zones' around the world. This would include police, emergency services and quarantine staff who would be put on standby to help failing states and countries emerging from infestation.

Speaking in the House of Commons, Mr Brown said Britain would use diplomacy to open dialogue with countries traditionally insular in their behavior to the West such as Cuba and North Korea.

Additionally, in an effort to retain experienced and veteran servicemen and women, there would be £15,000 commitment bonuses for long-serving military personnel and a £20m fund to help armed forces purchase homes.

Four regional counter-terrorism units and four regional intelligence units would be established to help the police deal with local emergencies.

The role of Britain's Territorial Army and other reserve forces. will be reviewed.

Mr Brown said threats to Britain had "changed out of all recognition" in recent years and that tactics had to alter accordingly.

"Our new approach to security also means improved local resilience against emergencies, building and strengthening local capacity to respond effectively in a range of circumstances from undead outbreaks, floods to possible terrorism incidents," he said.

"Not the old Cold War idea of civil defense but a new form of civil protection that combines expert preparedness for potential emergencies with greater local engagement of individuals and families themselves."

There will also be significant reforms within MI5, MI6, and other areas.
