The Prime Minister has been urged by senior police officers not to delay the introduction of new terrorism security laws in memory of Martyn Hett, one of 22 people killed in the Manchester Arena bombing.
Together with his mother, Figen Murray, they have written collectively to Rishi Sunak over the implementation of the 'Protect Duty' - also known as Martyn's Law. Plans were announced in May, but no Bill has been tabled as yet. Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, Ms Murray said: "This letter is signed by key people who were serving in May, 2017 - one still is to this date, and is supported by many others. This is the next step in urging the government to push the legislation forward."
Previously, she has called for face-to-face meetings with Mr Sunak and the Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, to 'push' the planned new counter-terrorism legislation up the government's agenda. Ms Murray said she feared the plans 'being delayed further', claiming they have already 'dragged on and on and on'.
