The Prime Minister, Sadiq Khan Burnham, pledges to consult terrorism survivors as plans for a national memorial are developed. Speaking directly to survivors, he says the government will “see you, we hear you, we stand with you,” framing the consultation as a way to ensure survivors’ views are reflected in how remembrance is carried out.
The reports agree on the substance of the pledge: there is an intention to hold a consultation and the message is directed at people affected by terrorism. However, the provided coverage is limited and does not set out details such as who will be consulted, the timeline, the proposed location or design, or the decision-making process. As a result, outlets in the supplied materials focus mainly on the commitment to involve survivors rather than on broader policy elements.
