What specific security measures does Martyn's Law mandate for large venues to prevent future terrorist attacks?

After six years of campaigning by Figen Murray, whose son Martyn Hett was killed in the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, Martyn's Law, the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill, has received Royal Assent and become UK law. This law addresses shortcomings in venue security that allowed the attack to occur. The bill's passage follows years of setbacks, including a 200-mile protest walk to Downing Street.
