NextImg:Rotherham Labour MP comes out in support of 'locally led' national inquiry

Rotherham MP Sarah Champion has called for a national inquiry into grooming gangs with a local focus.

In a statement posted on X, Champion said that "local inquiries do not have the power to compel witnesses/evidence, nor would they satisfy the public concern of cover-ups".

The statement comes just days after Labour MPs voted down a proposed national inquiry into the grooming gangs scandal.

Conservative Leader Kemi Badenoch tabled an amendment to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill earlier this month, calling for a full inquiry into the grooming gangs scandal.

It was defeated by a majority of 253.
