Act on Martyn's Law before it's too late'

Mum's appeal to MPs ahead of anti-terror debate

- BEN GRIFFITHS

THE mum of a Manchester Arena bombing victim is urging MPs to get moving with the anti-terror legislation named after her son.

Figen Murray, who is campaigning for Martyn's Law, which would tighten security at venues, called on politicians to "act before it is too late".

She made the plea as MPs prepare to debate the bill today.

Her son Martyn Hett, 29, was among the 22 people who were murdered in the suicide bombing at an Ariana Grande concert in 2017.

MI5 chief Ken McCallum revealed last week that 43 latestage terror threats on venues have been foiled in the past seven years.
