(BBC) New anti-terrorism legislation in memory of a Manchester Arena bombing victim should “protect people and be proportionate,” the justice secretary has said as a consultation is launched.
Building on “Martyn’s Law,” the new Protect Duty will require public places and venues to improve security.
It follows a campaign by Figen Murray, mother of Martyn Hett who died in the 2017 attack.
Justice Secretary Robert Buckland said it would “minimise the risk of harm.”
He said there needed to be a balance between the “obvious need” for larger venues to plan and think ahead.
