Laura Smith (Crewe and Nantwich) (Lab)
I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing the debate. I would like to place on the record my support and complete admiration for those victims who have so bravely spoken out about their terrible experiences at the hands of Barry Bennell. They were let down. My constituents who were victims are fighting tirelessly so that something like that can never happen again. It is so important that no stone is left unturned.
Sir Roger Gale (in the Chair)
Order. Let me reiterate my plea for hon. Members not to refer to cases that are before the courts.
