Statement from Mayor and Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Lloyd as Greater Manchester Police launch review of evidence, 20 years after the Manchester bomb:
“I fully support Greater Manchester Police in carrying out a further assessment and update to see if it is possible to bring the perpetrators of the Manchester bombing to justice.
“I also further call on the Home Secretary to make resources available to allow for a thorough review of the case to be undertaken, so that the people of Greater Manchester can be reassured that everything is being done to identify and prosecute the perpetrators.
“The events of 20 years ago brought devastation and fear to the streets of Manchester. While the city has risen to be stronger than ever, that day has had a long-term impact on those caught up in the blast. They, and the communities of Greater Manchester, deserve to know that no stone has been left unturned.”
