Martyn's law, or the terrorism (protection of premises) bill, requires venues holding over 199 people to implement safety measures against terror attacks, with fines for non-compliance.
Figen Murray emphasized the importance of Martyn's law for public safety, expressing gratitude to those who helped pass the bill and underlining the emotional significance for her family.
The law will mandate UK venues to have training and procedures in place to protect against attacks, aiming to reduce risks in public spaces historically vulnerable to terror.
Keir Starmer's commitment to implementing Martyn's law has been acknowledged as a significant political achievement, contrasted with Rishi Sunak's previous inaction on the matter.
