Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Alex Ballinger and Shabana Mahmood

Tuesday 28th January 2025 Commons Chamber

[Shabana Mahmood]

Gentleman and I have a shared objective in making it clear that there is a desire in all parts of the House to ensure that we face the full facts and that the victims of these heinous crimes receive the justice they deserve. I am sorry to hear that there are concerns in Bradford about the audit ordered by the Home Secretary; I will ensure that they are passed on to the Home Secretary, because, as the right hon. Gentleman will know, these matters fall directly within the purview of the Home Department.
