The home secretary is to consider the case for a public inquiry into the 1974 Birmingham Pub Bombings.
The blasts at the Mulberry Bush and Tavern in the Town pubs on the night of 21 November killed 21 people and injured 220.
For the next 31 years those bombings would be the deadliest attacks ever carried out in mainland England. They were surpassed in their carnage only by the London bombings of July 7 2005.

The government may be trying to “run down the clock” until a public inquiry into the murder of Pat Finucane becomes pointless, the High Court has heard.
Counsel for his widow, Geraldine Finucane, claimed the delay in acting on a finding that his death has never been properly investigated is unlawful. The judge hearing her legal challenge also voiced increasing “unease” at the government response.
Mr Finucane, aged 39, was shot dead by loyalists at his Belfast home in 1989. His family has campaigned ever since for a public inquiry to establish the full scale of security force collusion in his murder.
