Security Minister Dan Jarvis gave an update on the Prevent Learning Review - jointly commissioned with Counter Terrorism Policing following the Southport attack.
With permission, Madam Deputy Speaker, I will make a statement updating the House on the government's response to the Southport murders.
The attack in Southport in July last year was one of the most appalling and barbaric crimes committed in this country.
For young children and adults to be attacked in this way and 3 young girls killed is utterly heartbreaking. The Home Secretary and I would like to thank those people who showed great bravery in attempting to stop the attack.
For this foul act of violence to happen while children were enjoying themselves at a dance class at the beginning of the school holidays is beyond comprehension.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the 3 girls and all those injured as they continue to live with the trauma of that dark day.
No one should have to go through what they have, and we are steadfast in our commitment to ensuring they get every possible support.
Madam Deputy Speaker, responsibility for this abhorrent attack lies with the perpetrator. Axel Rudakubana has been sentenced to life imprisonment. He will serve a minimum of 52 years in prison.
And Mr Justice Goose said it is highly likely that he will never be released.
When the Home Secretary addressed the House on this case last month, she outlined the multiple interactions the perpetrator had with state bodies in the years before the attack. This included police, social services and mental health services.
There are serious questions about how various agencies failed to identify and collectively act on the warning signs.
All those questions must be answered - we owe that to the families, who deserve the truth about what went wrong.
That is why the government is committed to understanding and addressing the failings in this tragic case through a comprehensive public inquiry.
It will examine the issues raised in this case but also wider challenges around rising youth violence.
We are moving swiftly to set up the inquiry.
We will consult the families to ensure all critical issues are addressed while remaining sensitive to the needs of those most affected. We expect to announce
