Martyn's Law Introduced to Parliament to Enhance Terror Safety at UK Venues

The legislation mandates security plans for venues with over 200 capacity, inspired by the Manchester Arena attack.

Martyn's Law requires UK venues with a capacity of more than 200 to implement terror safety plans or face fines up to £10,000.
The law is named after Martyn Hett, a victim of the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, and has been championed by his mother, Figen Murray.
Venues with capacities over 800 will need to adopt additional security measures like CCTV and hiring security staff, with potential fines up to £18 million for non-compliance.
The legislation aims to strengthen public safety and ensure that lessons from the Manchester Arena attack are acted upon.
The Home Office estimates that the new law will impact 155,000 businesses and cost smaller venues an average of £330 annually, while larger venues may incur costs of around £5,000 per year.
