Figen Murray urges UK MPs to support Martyn's Law, mandating anti-terror training for venue staff and enhanced security measures in large public venues.

Figen Murray, mother of Manchester Arena bombing victim Martyn Hett, is urging UK MPs to support Martyn's Law during its debate in the Commons. The proposed legislation mandates anti-terror training for venue staff and enhanced security measures at public venues with capacities over 200. With significant threats noted by MI5, Murray stresses urgency for implementation, which could affect around 155,000 businesses, potentially costing them between £330 to £5,000 annually.
