Children's Minister Edward Timpson said he had "deep concerns" about the serious case review.
He said it "fails to explain sufficiently clearly the actions taken, or not taken, by children's social care when problems in the Khan family were brought to their attention on a number of occasions".
Professor Nick Frost, chairman of Bradford Safeguarding Children Board, which ordered the review, said: "The serious case review is very clear that Hamzah's death could not have been predicted but finds that systems, many of them national systems, let Hamzah down both before and following his death."
He added: "I cannot give assurance that a tragedy like this will never happen again."
