The campaigning mother of Manchester Arena terror attack victim Martyn Hett has welcomed a huge government announcement to push ahead with new a counter terror law in his name.
Figen Murray revealed she received a personal phone call from Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to reveal the news that his government would table draft legislation for 'Martyn's Law' in the spring - it will require public venues with a capacity of more than 100 people to introduce training and measures to combat terrorism or face sanctions.
The announcement represents a major victory for Figen who has campaigned for the so-called 'protect duty' since her son was killed, aged 29, alongside 21 others in the Manchester Arena terror attack in May 2017.
