Asked by: Adnan Hussain (Independent - Blackburn)
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make UK police resources available to liaise with the Moroccan authorities in relation to the disappearance of Inaayah Makda in Casablanca on 28 January 2026; and what discussions she has had with her Moroccan counterpart on action taken by police in that country following reports that witnesses have provided statements concerning alleged subsequent sightings.
Answered by Natalie Fleet
The Moroccan authorities hold primacy for the investigation into the disappearance of Inaayah Makda, and any request from the Moroccan authorities for assistance from UK law enforcement agencies will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
While the Home Secretary has not had discussions with representatives of the Moroccan authorities, consular assistance continues to be provided by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.
The Government has been assured by the Moroccan authorities that all leads, and any new leads, will be followed up appropriately.

Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to help tackle the (a) anti-social behaviour and (b) dangers associated with the use of electric (i) scooters and (ii) bikes in (A) Blackburn and (B) Lancashire.
Answered by Diana Johnson - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
Tackling anti-social behaviour is a top priority for this Government, and a key part of our Safer Streets Mission to take back our streets.
We will put thousands of neighbourhood police and community support officers into local communities and crack down on those causing havoc on our high streets by introducing tougher powers, including new Respect Orders to tackle repeat offending.
We will give police the powers they need to take action on dangerous and anti-social electric scooters and bikes so that they will be able to quickly destroy the bikes that they seize from offenders. We will set out more information in due course.
