Independent investigations have been launched into how a former soldier accused of terrorism escaped from HMP Wandsworth, why he was being held in the lower-security prison and whether other high-risk inmates may need to be moved from the jail.
The justice secretary, Alex Chalk, told MPs that “no stone must be left unturned” in getting to the bottom of Daniel Khalife’s escape on Wednesday morning and that he was seeking preliminary answers by the end of the week.
