Martyn's Law draft bill to be published in spring

Home secretary Suella Braverman has told MPs that a draft Martyn's Law bill is on track to be published this spring.

The announcement came as MPs were discussing the third volume of the Manchester Arena Inquiry report.

Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper asked Braverman to share the timetable of the proposed law and whether it would appear before parliament before summer recess.

Braverman said: “In relation to Martyn’s law, the government will publish draft legislation for scrutiny in the spring and after that introduce a bill to the house as soon as parliamentary time allows.”
