Martyn’s law: plans unveiled for counter-terror rules for UK venues

Draft legislation to be published in spring after public consultation found support for measures

Legislation nicknamed Martyn's law in memory of a victim of the Manchester Arena bombing is to be introduced to ensure stronger protections against terrorism in public places.

Martyn Hett, 29, was one of 22 people killed in the attack at the end of an Ariana Grande concert on 22 May 2017. His mother, Figen Murray, has campaigned for new measures.
