Katie Amess Following the publication of a review into the handling of Southport child killer Axel Rudakubana under the same programme, security minister Dan Jarvis told the House of Commons on Wednesday that a Prevent learning review into the killing of Sir David will be released next week in a commitment to transparency over the programme. Everybody else that Prevent failed also needs an inquiry.” She added: “Dan Jarvis said today that a line in the sand has been drawn after Southport. “We potentially wouldn’t be in the same situation today with repeat failings of Prevent had somebody had just listened to me back when it happened and launched a full public enquiry.” Ms Amess told LBC Home Secretary Yvette Cooper had said she could not promise her an inquiry would be held because she was not in office when Sir David was killed. Numerous inquiries have been launched by a subsequent government, and so I said: ‘I don’t accept that as an answer and you can’t pick and choose who you’re going to help’.” Ms Amess said she believes that without the Southport knife attack, the learning review into how her father’s killer had been handled by Prevent would have never been released into the public domain.
