Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to initiate an inquiry into grooming gangs.

The Government's priority is to support victims and survivors and take action on delivering against the recommendations of the final report of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse.

The Government will continue to support further inquiries that are needed to expose failings and wrongdoings in local areas and institutions. It is right that these take place at a localised level so that those directly responsible for delivering services work to improve those services and ensure lessons are learnt.
