Burnham’s support for a new investigation into past child sexual abuse in Greater Manchester, particularly Oldham and Rochdale, has drawn criticism from Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy.
Elon Musk, the tech tycoon, has called for a fresh national investigation, and both the Conservatives and Reform UK have supported his calls.
However, Labour ministers have stated that putting the 2022 recommendations of a seven-year investigation into child sexual abuse, headed by Professor Alexis Jay, into action is their top priority.
Burnham supports the ‘limited’ national abuse investigation.
MPs reject the Tory Party’s demand for a new investigation into grooming groups.
‘Disinformation’ from Musk is putting me in danger, Phillips claims.
MPs rejected a Tory attempt to compel a new nationwide investigation on Wednesday.
Burnham stated on news Radio Manchester that he believed a “limited national inquiry” was warranted.
