(BBC) The operator of the Manchester Arena has denied it “deliberately sacrificed safety” in the aftermath of the 2017 bombing.
An inquiry has heard how security failures contributed to the arena being unsafe on the night of the attack.
Venue operator SMG has disputed claims it “was akin to the worst kind of Dickensian factory owner, deliberately and cynically sacrificing safety.”
British Transport Police (BTP) has admitted it made mistakes.
Twenty-two people were killed and hundreds more injured when Salman Abedi detonated a home-made device as fans left the arena following an Ariana Grande concert.
