Child grooming

Leader of the Commons Lucy Powell has sought to clarify comments she made in "the heat of" a radio debate.

The government has been facing growing demands to reveal which areas are running grooming gang inquires.

The Conservatives said the local reviews would "not do" and repeated calls for a national investigation.

Catherine Roper is calling on the public to share their concerns to help officers find child groomers.

The Home Office says it is wrong to claim the government is cancelling local child sexual abuse inquiries.

Tom Crowther KC suggests there has been little progress nearly three months since his role was announced.

Ashley Darbyshire admitted 19 offences including three counts of rape against five different girls.

The assurance is in correspondence between police forces and Welsh ministers obtained by the BBC.
