Martyn's Law gets second reading in parliament

Martyn's Law has had its second reading in parliament.
The law will require venues with a capacity of more than 200 people to have a plan in place should an attack occur. Staff will also be required to undertake training.
Bigger venues will have stronger requirements.
The law is named after Martyn Hett who was killed in the Manchester Arena attack.
During the debate in the Commons, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said that the law should balance "protection of life with protection of our way of life".
More than 100 venues, including McDonald's have signed a letter supporting the law.
