Toni PomarMike Bullock, CEO of Corps Security, comments on the introduction of Martyn’s Law (The Terrorism [Protection of Premises] Bill) in the UK Parliament.
Sirs,
Parliament has tabled a discussion on the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill, which is otherwise known as ‘Martyn’s Law’, and named after Martyn Hett – one of the twenty-two people murdered in the Manchester Arena Attack of 2017.
Martyn’s mother, Figen Murray, has been a fierce campaigner for the legislation since 2019. These new discussions are a promising sign that the Bill will finally become law, after years of tireless campaigning from Figen and the wider security community.
Martyn’s Law will ensure that proactive threat prevention is in place across the buildings we monitor and protect. The transformative law highlights the need for well-informed staff, training and practicing procedures to ensure effective measures are in place.
We need to enhance security across the UK, and Martyn’s Law will prevent attacks like that at the Manchester Arena in 2017 from ever happening again.
Corp Security welcomes this discussion and hopes the measure will soon be enacted as law.
