The Liberal Democratic Party's project team on security and land legislation, under its foreign nationals policy headquarters, on the 24th compiled a proposal centered on introducing a national permit system for the acquisition of land around facilities of particular importance to national security. The proposal argues that acquisition should be prohibited for those working on behalf of foreign governments. The current Important Land Survey Act focuses on regulating the use of important land and does not ban acquisition itself, and the proposal pointed out that it "cannot necessarily respond to the new security environment, and the current system has its limits." It calls for introducing a permit system for the acquisition of areas around facilities among the "specified important facilities" designated under the law that are deemed vulnerable to drone attack threats and in particular need of protection.
