'How long does it take to get it right'

Introducing a new law requiring public venues to better protect people from terror attacks is seen as a "top priority" by the security minister.

A year ago the public inquiry into the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing found a series of security failures and missed opportunities to prevent the atrocity.

A lawyer for seven bereaved Arena families has criticised how long it was taking to introduce Protect Duty laws.

But Security Minister Damian Hinds said the government had to "get it right".

The government said it intended to introduce legislation during the current parliamentary session.

Mr Hinds told the BBC he would "guarantee" the new law would have a strong legal duty on venues, as well as tough enforcement measures for those that do not comply.
All that's necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing

They can't even prioritise National security, if government agencies and our abjectly useless police had done their job, the perpetrators of these atrocities would have been scooped up and dealt with, saving 22 innocents, but thi blurt chooses to put the onus on entertainment venues.
