Yvette Cooper said it was 'hard to see how an inquiry would be able to go beyond' terrorist killer Ali Harbi Ali's trial and the recently published Prevent learning review.
The Home Secretary rejected calls from the family of murdered MP David Amess for a public inquiry into alleged "state failures" that allowed his terrorist attacker to kill him. The Home Secretary stated a public inquiry would not provide more information than what was already available from the trial, Prevent learning review, and other investigations. The family expressed fury, accusing the Home Secretary of stringing them along and offering a "useless paper review." They believe a full public inquiry is necessary for the security of public servants and to understand how the state failed.
