Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps she plans to take to help prevent Hashem Abedi from endangering other people in prison.

HM Prison & Probation Service (HMPPS) has a variety of methods to keep those who live and work in our prisons safe.

We are reviewing how the attack happened, and the guidance shows we have suspended use of kitchens in separation centres and close supervision centres.

It is not appropriate to comment on the management of a specific individual within the prison system. The safe and secure management of every prisoner within the prison system is a top priority for HMPPS.
