Commons ChamberI am taking this case very seriously, and I have had the right hon. Gentleman’s letter. At the moment, we are doing an internal inquiry, and if the right hon Gentleman will leave that with me, I will come and talk to him if anything additional is required.
I thank my hon. Friend for highlighting such a fantastic proactive example that is making a real difference, and I support anything further that we can do.
