Martyn's Law reaches final stage in parliament

Martyn's Law is set to become law, after reaching the final stage in parliament.

The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill is to be sent for Royal Assent, after MPs approved amendments made by the House of Lords.

Under the Bill, staff at all UK venues with a capacity of more than 200 people would undergo evacuation training, and sites with more than 800 people would need extra measures such as CCTV or security staff.

The law is named after Martyn Hett, who was killed at the Manchester Arena attack in 2017. Since then, his mother Figen Murray has led a campaign for better security in public spaces.

The legislation is expected is become law ahead of the eighth anniversary of the attack in May.
