When announcing Martyn's Law, Suella Braverman MP, The Home Secretary, also updated Parliament on Sensitive Information in Licensing Applications (SILA).

In her written statement on on 19 December 2022, Ms Braverman said:

"I intend to introduce the Sensitive Information in Licensing Applications (SILA) protocol (by way of an amendment to the Licensing Act 2003 (LA2003)) to align to the similar system already in place within planning legislation (Sensitive Information in Planning Applications (SIPA)), to reduce the risk of misuse of sensitive information in the public domain."

Sensitive Information in Licensing Applications (SILA) forms part of the Government's anti-terrorism Protect Duty that will introduce a means by which licensing information, deemed sensitive, will be exempt from publication to any publicly accessible platform.
