Written StatementsToday the Manchester Arena inquiry has published the third and final volume (volume 3) of its report, which has been laid before the House. The report can be found at www.manchesterarenainquiry.org.uk and on gov.uk.
Volume 3 relates to the radicalisation of the perpetrator; the planning and preparation for the attack; and whether the attack could have been prevented.
The awful attack carried out on 22 May 2017 prematurely ended the lives of 22 people and fundamentally damaged many more. They and their loved ones are foremost in our thoughts today. I am grateful for the strength and courage of the victims’ families and the survivors, who bravely live with the consequences of the attack every day, and to all those who have shared their experiences with the inquiry.
I would also like to thank Sir John Saunders and his team who have spent more than three years investigating this atrocious attack. The Government are committed to maximising learning from the inquiry and will now carefully study the three volumes of findings and analysis and well over 150 recommendations and consider how best to take them forward.
