(BBC) A formal consultation has been launched into proposals for new legislation to ensure stronger protection against terrorism in public places.
Known as Martyn’s Law, it is named after Martyn Hett, one of 22 people killed in the 2017 Manchester attack.
The Home Office said the bill would require venues to take enhanced steps to help keep the public safe.
It said it was seeking views to make sure the new requirements do not place “undue burdens” on smaller businesses.
Mr Hett’s mother Figen Murray, who has campaigned for the changes, said Martyn’s Law was all about “making our communities safer” and urged everyone with an interest to respond to the consultation.
