(BBC) The mother of a Manchester Arena bomb victim has urged the government to move forward with its promised consultation on “Martyn’s Law.”
Figen Murray, whose son Martyn Hett died in the attack, wants to bring in legislation to step up security in crowded public spaces and venues.
The government backed the plans but work has stalled due to Covid-19.
Ms Murray told the public inquiry into the bombing that “the stakes are too high” for further delay.
“We just cannot wait for Covid-19 to end and then do the consultation because we don’t [know] how long Covid-19 is going to be with us,” she said.
