Written Answers |

David Amess
Asked by: Lord Alton of Liverpool (Crossbench - Life peer) Monday 11th November 2024 Question to the Home Office: To ask His Majesty's Government what response they have made to Katie Amess, daughter of the late Sir David Amess MP, who has said that her father was “catastrophically failed by the Prevent programme”; and what consideration they have given to holding a full inquest into Sir David’s death. Answered by Lord Hanson of Flint - Minister of State (Home Office) Sir David Amess’s death was senseless and tragic, and our thoughts continue to be with his family and friends. This government takes the safety of members of parliament extremely seriously and significant work has been taken forward since Sir David’s tragic killing. The Prevent strategy is a vital tool to stop people from becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. It has been significantly strengthened over the last decade, including the introduction of the Prevent and Channel Duties in 2015 and we continue to learn lessons and drive improvements to Prevent. Any decisions on the inquest are for a coroner to decide, but we are committed to doing whatever it takes to ensure Prevent works effectively to protect us from terrorism. |
