Martyn’s law: anti-terror security rules for UK venues to be introduced after delay

Suella Braverman told MPs draft legislation, named after Manchester Arena terror attack victim Martyn Hett, will be published in spring

A draft bill, dubbed “Martyn’s law”, aimed at forcing all venues to draw up plans to prevent terror attacks and ensure public safety is on track to be published this spring, the home secretary told MPs on Monday.

Suella Braverman’s commitment came as MPs debated the critical third and final public report of the Manchester Arena terror inquiry, released last week, in response to a question from her Labour counterpart.
