Offences against Children: Greater London
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many and what proportion of the cases included in her formal review of grooming gang investigations are in London; in which London boroughs these cases are; and what the dates are of each case.
Answered by Jess Phillips
We can confirm that over 1,200 cases have been identified for review in the first phase of the review of cases that ended with ‘No Further Action’ that was announced by the previous Home Secretary in January 2025. This is now a component part of Operation Beaconport. The Operation has advised that work has already begun on reviewing the 216 most serious cases. We do not hold the detailed data on the breakdown of cases under review by force or local authority area.
