(Sky News) New legislation to make venues protect the public in the event of a terror attack, named in memory of a victim of the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, has become law in the UK today.
Martyn’s Law is named after Martyn Hett, who was killed alongside 21 others in the attack at an Ariana Grande concert in May 2017.
The law received royal assent today after a six-year campaign led by Martyn’s mother, Figen Murray.
She said: “Whilst nothing can bring Martyn back, this much-needed law will secure his legacy and help to prevent more families enduring the pain and loss that mine alongside 21 others have experienced since the Manchester Arena terror attack.”
