Labour — Birmingham Yardley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 September 2025

Debate

Group-based Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse

Contribution

My hon. Friend is right. As I said earlier, there is likely to be border-crossing between Birmingham and Telford, which was mentioned in the earlier inquiry. We continue to discuss this with the devolved Administrations. The Scottish Government can set up a specific national inquiry under the Inquiries Act, as we have, but any cross-border findings will of course be shared, action will be sought, and, potentially, recommendations will be made.
