Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp has said that a public inquiry is the correct route to "get to the truth" and see if there were "missed opportunities" to prevent the Southport attacks which left three young girls dead last summer.
Philp's comments come after Prime Minister Keir Starmer defended the government's response to the attack after being accused of "withholding information about the perpetrator".
The government announced a public inquiry into the Southport attack carried out by Axel Rudakubana, 18, who had previously been referred three times to the government's anti-terror programme, Prevent.
