Labour 'waters down' grooming inquiries | The Daily T

Earlier this year, the Home Secretary Yvette Cooper told MPs that the Government would provide £5 million to support up to five initial local inquiries modelled on the judge-led one into grooming gangs in Telford.

But now, Home Office minister Jess Phillips has announced that “following feedback,” the Government would adopt a “flexible approach” where the money would be available for local councils to use as they wished to support grooming gang work. The decision has understandably caused outrage.

Kamal and Camilla ask if the Government has let down victims of grooming after it was accused of "watering down" plans for a series of rape gang inquiries.
