Mr Chalk is due to face questions live on Sky News tomorrow on Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips. "Justice Secretary Alex Chalk says an independent inquiry will establish the circumstance around this escape." "Crucially, perhaps for the here and now is whether he had help inside or out. "Some of these questions surround why an alleged terrorist suspect as being held in a category B prison. "At Wandsworth Prison we know there have been multiple failings, issues around staff shortages, overcrowding and reports of an alleged out of date security system. "There are also questions about how this happened in the first place, particularly whether this escape was a symptom of a broken prison system," said our news correspondent Ashna Hurynag. The 21-year-old was not arrested until just before 11am.
