The 7 July Review Committee published the latest responses to the recommendations contained in its report of June 2006 and follow-up report of August 2007. The document includes reponses from the Metropolitan Police Service, London Ambulance Service, London Fire Brigade, Transport for London, Airwave and TerreStar Global.

On 6 May 2011 the Coroner's Inquests into the London Bombings of 7 July 2005 returned verdicts of unlawfull killing of the 52 victims of the attacks. The Coroner, Lady Justice Hallett D.B.E. issued a report alongside the verdicts which made 9 recommendations addressed to the Home Office, the Security Service, London Resilience Team, Transport for London, London Ambulance Service, Department of Health and Barts & London NHS Trust.

Section 124 of the Coroner's report says:

"Although considerable progress has been made over the last six years, each organisation has accepted that there are lessons to be learnt from 7/7 and improvements to be made. Much of the credit for such progress rests with the 7th July Review Committee of the London Assembly (“the 7th July Review Committee”) as well as with each of the organisations. The 7th July Review Committee’s three-volume report (published in June 2006) addressed numerous issues and made important and detailed recommendations, particularly in respect of communications. The majority of these recommendations have been implemented."
