00:00Well, I think it is right to have a public inquiry to make sure that we get to the truth,
00:04to see if there were missed opportunities to prevent this evil young man from murdering
00:09those poor innocent young girls. We do need to find that out and to learn the lessons
00:13and a public inquiry is the right way to do that, just like it's the right way to get
00:17to the bottom of the rape gangs we've been talking about in recent weeks. But this public
00:22inquiry should also cover the government's response after these terrible murders. Were
00:27they as open and transparent as they could have been? Jonathan Hall, the independent
00:31reviewer of terrorism legislation says there is a lot you can say without prejudicing subsequent
00:36trials, and we need to understand if the government's potential failure to be completely open and
00:42transparent contributed in any way to those appalling and unacceptable riots that followed.
