The Government must lay out all the facts of the case of the murdered toddler in a public inquiry to show there is nothing to hide, ministers have heard.
on why two-year-old James’ killer Jon Venables was freed to commit more offences, Labour MPs made renewed calls for a probe.
Speaking in Westminster Hall on Monday, Ms Barker, the MP for Liverpool, Wavertree, said: “I find it staggering to assert by denying a public inquiry that lessons cannot be learned. The Knowsley MP later added: “I think there should be a public inquiry but if that gets ruled out, there needs to be some alternative way by which these issues can be considered.”
She said: “Each and every time the state does not live by an obligation that it had previously promised that victim, it’s just another bit of erosion to believe that the case had been handled well in the first place.
