Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will undertake an assessment of the effectiveness of the actions of (a) the police, (b) other public bodies and (c) staff under her Department's remit in relation to the death of 12-year-old Shukri Abdi.

Shukri Abdi’s death was a tragedy and our thoughts remain with her family and friends. An investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct into the actions of Greater Manchester Police found insufficient evidence to suggest that the force did not conduct a thorough investigation into Shukri’s death and was satisfied that it was carried out in line with national and local policies and procedures. The coroner in the inquest into Shukri’s death concluded that it was an accidental death. Consequently, there are no plans for an assessment of the type suggested by the Hon. Member.
