Petition

Urgently conduct a National Public Inquiry into Pakistani grooming gangs.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I'm calling on the Government to conduct an urgent National Public Inquiry into the Pakistani grooming gangs. There are historic institutional failures which must be robustly investigated to hold those responsible to account and give justice to the survivors.
The survivors have been badly let down by the very institutions that are supposed to protect them. Lesson must be learnt, and those responsible must be held to account.
