Jonathan Rees’ solicitor joined critics of the Home Secretary and described her decision as “astonishing”. He wrote: “It astonishes us the panel set up to conduct the independent inquiry (in June 2014 by Theresa May ) has only just produced their report. “It astonishes us the current Home Secretary has prevented the report from being published. Daniel’s brother Alastair blasted Ms Patel, saying he hopes the panel will “fend off this unwarranted intervention from the Home Secretary”. “We hope the Panel will reconsider and provide the Home Office with the report so those checks can begin swiftly and we can publish soon.”
