    Tories lose vote on grooming gangs inquiry as Starmer hints at U-turn

    Tories lose vote on grooming gangs inquiry as Starmer hints at U-turn

    A Conservative Party amendment calling for a national inquiry on grooming gangs has been rejected in the Commons.

    The amendment to Labour’s flagship Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill received 111 Ayes and 364 Noes, majority 253.

    Mrs Badenoch’s amendment to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill called for ministers “to develop new legislative proposals for children’s wellbeing including establishing a national statutory inquiry into historical child sexual exploitation, focused on grooming gangs”.

    Prime minister Keir Starmer hit out at the Tory leader earlier on Wednesday over “lies and misinformation and slinging of mud” which did not help victims of child sexual abuse.

    Sir Keir’s official spokesman faced questions about the possibility of a national inquiry after safeguarding minister Jess Phillips told Sky News “nothing is off the table” in dealing with the scandal.

    The spokesman said the PM and his minister were of the same view, and insisted the Government’s response is “rooted in what victims want”.

    He added: “But as the Prime Minister said on Monday we will always remain open-minded. We will always listen to local authorities who want to take forward inquiries, or indeed further allegations that need to be followed up.”
