Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many of the complaints made about John Worboys were subsequently deemed to have been Not Detected; and whether it is permissible for such complaints to be be reinvestigated at a future date.

The investigation of offences is an operational matter for the police. In the case of alleged offences already reported to the police which did not meet the evidential threshold for prosecution, the police may decide to resume investigations where new evidence comes to light.
