Martyn’s Law receives Royal Assent

The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act, also known as Martyn’s Law, has received Royal Assent and become law.
The new law, named after Martyn Hett, who was one of 22 people killed in the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, will strengthen security measures within public venues in the UK to protect against terrorist attacks.
It will require public premises where 200 or more individuals may be present, to be better prepared and have plans in place to keep people safe in the event of an attack
