Labour Accused of 'Utterly Shameful' U-Turn on Grooming Gang Inquiries
- Wednesday, 09 April 2025
Labour has been accused of making an "utterly shameful" decision to water down a pledge to investigate grooming gangs targeting young girls. The accusation was made by Sir Trevor Phillips, former chairman of the Equalities and Human Rights Commission, after Jess Phillips, minister for safeguarding and violence against women and girls, failed to confirm that five inquiries would take place as previously announced. Instead, Ms Phillips proposed a flexible approach that may include local victims' panels or audits rather than full independent inquiries.
