Martyn’s Law is a draft bill which follows a campaign by the mother of 29-year-old Manchester bomb victim Martyn Hett. The Bill places a statutory duty on qualifying premises and events to take proportionate and reasonable measures to improve public safety and protect against the threat of terrorism. It was mentioned in the King’s Speech on 7 November, signaling the Government’s intention to pass it into law in 2024. A public consultation is currently underway.
