Martyn's Law listed in King's Speech

King Charles has set out the new government's plans in a speech to Parliament.

39 bills were outlined in the speech which the government plans to pass in the next parliamentary session.

Martyn's Law has been listed as the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill and it will require venues to put measures in place to deal with the threat of terrorism.

Police will be able to use counter-terror powers to handle gangs smuggling people to the UK, through the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill.

The Cyber Security and Resilience Bill is aimed at protecting critical infrastructure from attackers.

A bill is included to set up an Armed Forces Commissioner, which would have powers to inspect faulty kit and military accommodation.
