(BBC) The chief constable at the time of the Manchester attack has denied misleading an independent review into the emergency response six months later.
The public inquiry into the 2017 attack has heard of significant multi-agency communication failures.
Ian Hopkins said he did not send a “rose-tinted” report about Greater Manchester Police’s bomb response to Lord Kerslake’s review.
He said he was unaware of the level of failures at that point.
The inquiry has heard fire crews did not arrive at the scene for more than two hours and only three paramedics were at the City Room, where the device exploded.
