Workers claimed reluctance to seek funding for more sessions with Ali Harbi Ali, cited in a report as a radicalized individual. Staff described him positively and discontinued their efforts without completing a final report. Years later, Ali fatally stabbed Conservative MP Sir David Amess during a constituency meeting. Ali expressed intentions to kill parliament members involved in military actions. Lord Anderson identified ongoing shortcomings in Prevent but noted that alternative actions might not have altered the outcome. The Amess family objected to the report’s handling and publication, alleging it lacked transparency and consideration for them.
Lord David Anderson stated that the report revealed a long series of failings by Prevent, yet there was no evidence suggesting that different actions could have prevented Sir David's assassination.
The Amess family expressed deep upset and offense regarding the report's publication process, noting they had scant notice or time to prepare before its public release.
