Prime Minister
Boris Johnson pledged to make changes after an attack near
London Bridge in November in which Usman Khan, a convicted terrorist who had been released early from prison, killed two people.
Khan had been sentenced to a minimum of eight years in
prison in 2012 with a requirement that the parole board assess his danger to the public before release.
