Ms Murray arrived at No 10 on the seventh anniversary of her son's death to push for the measure, which calls for UK venues and local authorities to have training requirements and preventative plans against terror attacks, to be introduced to Parliament.
The mother of a victim of the Manchester Arena bombing has walked from the venue to Downing Street to deliver a letter calling for new terror laws. Figen Murray's son, Martyn Hett, was one of 22 people killed when terrorist Salman Abedi detonated a bomb at the end of an Ariana Grande concert in May 2017. Ms Murray arrived outside No 10 on the seventh anniversary of her son's death and handed over a letter calling for the implementation of Martyn's Law.
'Today is the seventh anniversary of Martyn's death and it's important because I don't want any other family to go through what we went through. 'Martyn's Law is legislation to keep people safe in venues when they go out and about and it has to be mandated sooner rather than later.' Ms Murray sat in the public gallery in the House of Commons during Prime Minister's Questions and was due to meet the party leaders afterwards.
