Officials who managed Khan after he was freed and participated in public protection meetings have said they did not know about the attack-planning intelligence.
Kenneth Skelton, Khan’s probation officer, previously told the inquests that if he had been told, “the whole management process would have been altered”, potentially including the decision to let Khan attend the event where he launched the attack.
Detective Chief Inspector Ryan Chambers, of the West Midlands Police Counter-Terrorism Unit, said he had “no reason to think” that probation and other agencies did not know of Khan’s feared intentions.
DCI Chambers was the senior investigating officer for the covert investigation into Khan, which was conducted alongside MI5.

The chief probation officer for England and Wales has accused MI5 of failing to sound the alarm about Usman Khan attending an event in London where he killed two people, an inquest has heard.
Sonia Flynn, the executive director of the probation service, said the security services should have stepped in when Khan’s possible attendance at the event in Fishmongers’ Hall was raised at a series of public protection, or “Mappa”, meetings MI5 attended.
Khan killed Jack Merritt and Saskia Jones in November 2019, 11 months after being released on licence for terrorist offences. Flynn told an inquest into their deaths she was surprised MI5 did not appear to share intelligence about the growing security risk it assessed Khan posed to the public.
