Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 21 February 2025, to Question 29607, on Offences against Children: Reviews, what remuneration is being given to Baroness Case of Blackstock for leading the review; and whether this remuneration is in addition to her remuneration as the Government’s lead Non-Executive Director.

On 16 January 2025, the Home Secretary announced a funding package to deliver stronger national support for locally-led work on tackling group-based child sexual exploitation. This includes supporting Oldham Council who have confirmed work to undertake a local inquiry that has already begun. We are in the process of consulting with local authorities and relevant stakeholders on the design and delivery of this package and will update the House in due course.

Baroness Casey is leading the National Audit in her role as the Government's lead Non-Executive Director. She is therefore not receiving additional remuneration for the Audit.
