Martyn’s law to require terror safety plans at venues with 200-plus capacity

Bill is laid before parliament after years of campaigning by mother of Manchester Arena bombing victim

Pubs and clubs that can hold 200 people could be fined 10,000 if the owners fail to comply with a new law that is meant to protect against terror attacks.

Martyn's law, otherwise known as the terrorism (protection of premises) bill, will require all venues with a capacity of more than 199 people to take steps to ensure they have a plan in place in case of an attack on their premises.
