Conservative — Stone, Great Wyrley and Penkridge

Speaking in the House of Commons on 6 January 2025

Debate

Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse

Contribution

In Telford we saw the systematic abuse of so many children who were raped, and we saw a cover-up by the police and council officials, yet not a single member of the police force or a single council official in Telford, or anywhere else in the country, has gone to jail. Will the Secretary of State use her power to set up a specialist unit within the National Crime Agency, as my hon. Friend the Member for West Suffolk (Nick Timothy) said, to look at this and ensure that some of those who covered up these crimes are held to account?
