Arena bomb victim's mum walking to Downing Street to demand new legislation

The campaigning mother of Martyn Hett - one of 22 innocents murdered in the Manchester Arena bombing of 2017 - is walking from the venue to Downing Street to demand action over proposed new anti-terror legislation in her son's name.

“The Prime Minister and senior government ministers have reassured me that they are committed to introducing this game-changing legislation, but almost five years on from their first commitment, the draft legislation still hasn’t been tabled. This is putting our country at risk. They said it was a “concern” that attacks which had occurred in some parts of the UK, such as in Scotland, would not fall into the draft Bill’s scope.Nick Aldworth, a former police Chief Superintendent and Head of Protect and Prepare Counter Terror policing, said: "The one thing all families who lose loved ones to terrorism want is to make sure we learn the lessons from their tragedy.

Martyn, a PR manager from Stockport, was 29. He was four metres away from bomber Salman Abedi at the time of the blast.
