earlier, our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford said, that there are questions that need to be answered by the security service, mi5. it's been a total system failure in the end. yes, it's true that if there had been tougher sentencing, usman khan would still be in prison and so he wouldn't have been out to kill. yes, it's true that the under—resourced probation and prison service were probably unable to do enough work to make sure that usman khan changed his mindset, certainly the deradicalisation system still doesn't seem to be working very well at all. and then, of course, there are issues for the security service, mi5, and counterterrorism police. what were they doing to make sure that usman khan on the outside wasn't a danger? so i think it's right across the board that there has been a total system failure, but it is worth repeating today what jack merritt‘s father said yesterday is that jack merritt would not have wanted his death to lead too much more draconian to lead to much more draconian sentences and people being held unnecessarily in prison. the west midlan

presumably one that daniel sandford refer to this morning was that he would not have been able to go to this conference without somebody giving him permission. no, there better and some very strict licensing conditions including, as i mentioned, that's tag. but also, to be able to go to this conference he would have had to get permission to travel from his home in stafford down to london. we also know part of a conditions of his release was that he was taking part in a deradicalisation programme stop he is originally from stoke and that is where he plotted this attack for which he was imprisoned for in 2012, to blow up the london stock exchange. he was part of a group known as the stoke plotters and we believe that part of these licensing conditions was that he was not allowed to mix up as associate and he could not go into the stoke—on—trent area. he could not go into the stoke-on-trent area. sarah, and give a beekeeping is up—to—date with developments. thank you very much. and the liberal democrats foreign affairs spokesman chuka umunna will be taking your questions on brex
