Andy Burnham critical of police and fire service's response to arena attack, but vows 'they have changed'
It was just 14 days into Andy Burnham’s mayorship of Greater Manchester that one of the city’s darkest moments came. Five and a half years later the disappointment at the response of the police and fire service under his watch on that night is obvious.
Mr Burnham heavily criticised Greater Manchester Police at the time of the attack, saying the inquiry’s findings on the force were “very troubling”. This was highlighted by their “inaccurate account” of their actions after the attack adding: “It is my view that the force tried to stick for too long to a corporate narrative that suggested it had acted effectively.
In response to the inquiry Mr Burnham has called for a “legal duty of candour” to be set on all public servants so that public service “tell the truth at the first time of asking” after major events like this. “This cannot continue. I have had a constructive meeting this week with the new Home Secretary and I call on her to bring forward a response as soon as possible and to accept the need for a statutory duty of candour.
