Sunak commits to Martyn's Law but Figen still 'let down'

'I WAS UPSET BY ANNIVERSARY AND THEN FELT MISLED BY PM'

THE mother of a Manchester Arena bombing victim says she still feels ‘let down’ by Rishi Sunak despite the Prime Minister saying he is committed to carrying legislation in her son’s name into the next Parliament.

Martyn Hett was one of 22 people killed in the blast at the end of an Ariana Grande concert in May 2017.

His mother, Figen Murray, has been campaigning for Martyn’s Law, which would require venues and local authorities in the UK to have training requirements and preventative plans against terror attacks.

Ms Murray met with Mr Sunak to talk about the law hours before he called the General Election.

She said the Prime Minister had promised her on Wednesday he would introduce Martyn’s Law to Parliament before summer recess, but could not guarantee the legislation would be passed before the next election.
