Manchester Arena operator denies 'sacrificing safety' before attack in 2017

Andrew O'Connor QC, representing SMG, told the inquiry the firm had always accepted responsibility for security in the City Room, where the bomb exploded.

"It is for that purpose and not for prevarication, finger-pointing or buck passing that we have sought to explain to you SMG's relationship with all the other organisations involved," he added. Mr O'Connor said the firm should not be criticised for not extending the arena's security perimeter, or not installing X-ray machines or metal detectors before 2017.
