The long-running Manchester Arena Inquiry has cost taxpayers £26.7m so far. The figure has been revealed in a series of financial reports published on the inquiry website.

The cost to the tax-payer has been revealed in a series of financial statements published on the inquiry's website and covers a period from October 22, 2019, when the inquiry began, to September 30 last year.
