Why no public enquiry?

There is no longer a logical argument for denying a public enquiry over the July 7th bombings.

There is significant concern as to whether the intelligence services missed following up some key lines of enquiry. There is a justifiable perception that the Whips will lean on any Labour MPs involved in a select committee enquiry, thus ensuring that nothing too serious comes out of it, so it cannot be seen as impartial and, more importantly, it will mean that the opportunity to learn lessons will be missed.

Dr Reid needs to see sense and put the needs of the people of this country above party politics.
