The prime minister was already under fire over the crisis of crumbling concrete in schools when Daniel Khalife disappeared from Wandsworth prison by clingiing on to the underneath of a van undetected.
Back then, prisons were run by the Home Office, before they were transferred to the Ministry of Justice by Tony Blair in 2007 after his home secretary John Reid famously said his department was"not fit for purpose" in 2006.The 1991 Brixton break-out plunged John Major's home secretary Kenneth Baker into a political crisis, as he was hauled before the Commons to make a statement to MPs - the first of many - and faced accusations of incompetence and calls to resign.
Those names in full: Kenneth Clarke, Chris Grayling, Michael Gove, Liz Truss, David Lidington, David Gauke, Sir Robert Buckland, Dominic Raab , Brandon Lewis and now Mr Chalk. Mr Chalk says he called a meeting with the Wandsworth governor after the escape to make sure"all necessary steps have been taken to secure the prison". Bit late now, Mr Chalk!
