The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill, informally known as Martyn’s Law, gained Royal Assent on 3rd April 2025, after more than five years of campaigning by Figen Murray OBE, the mother of Martyn Hett, one of 22 victims brutally murdered in the Manchester Arena terror attack, 22 May 2017. ​

​

Martyns Law essentially mandates that public premises with a capacity greater than 200 are better prepared for terrorist attacks and ready to respond. ​
