Rishi Sunak has been told to introduce the law without further delay to help safeguard the public from terror attacks.
The mother of Manchester Arena bombing victim Martyn Hett has urged Rishi Sunak to introduce a law to ensure stronger protections against terrorism in public places “without further delay”.
In the letter, seen by the PA news agency, she said: “As you know, my son Martyn died alongside 21 other innocent souls at the Manchester Arena terror attack on 22 May 2017.“Life as I knew it changed overnight and I have since made it my mission to do everything possible to prevent other parents, families and friends going through the devastating experiences that my family has endured.
But Ms Murray, who received an OBE for services to counter terrorism in June 2022, claims the committee reached a “dangerous and misguided” conclusion after scrutinising the draft legislation.“It is not meant to restrict us but empower us by making the general public more resilient to such attacks.”She said the Government committed to introducing the legislation in 2019 and that it has “strong support from the public, businesses, the security industry and across Parliament”.
It said after looking at the draft it had “serious concerns” about the financial burden of requiring venues to have potentially costly safety measures in place. She added: “This is particularly the case in places like village halls, community centres and other rural locations that people may think are immune from attacks.
“That is why it is so important to introduce this legislation as soon as possible, to better protect the public from the risk of a terror attack.”
