Thursday 18th December 2025 Written Corrections

[Nick Smith]

Can the Minister say more about how the Government are reflecting the experiences of victims when tackling grooming gangs in Wales?

[Anna McMorrin]

Absolutely, and I thank my hon. Friend for raising this critical matter. We are putting victims’ voices at the heart of the inquiry, because their voices must be heard, and we are accepting Baroness Casey’s recommendations in full, including the introduction of mandatory reporting, the creation of a new child protection authority and the ending of the three-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims.

Written correction submitted by the Under-Secretary of State for Wales, the hon. Member for Cardiff North (Anna McMorrin):

[Anna McMorrin]

Absolutely, and I thank my hon. Friend for raising this critical matter. We are putting victims’ voices at the heart of the inquiry, because their voices must be heard, and we are accepting Baroness Casey’s recommendations in full, plus the introduction of mandatory reporting, and the creation of a new child protection authority. Earlier this year, we announced the ending of the three-year statute of limitations for relevant personal injury claims.
