Sadiq Khan Under Fire During Heated Grooming Gangs Confrontation

A tense exchange at the London Assembly saw Conservative Assembly Member Susan Hall challenge Mayor Sadiq Khan over the handling of child grooming gang allegations in the capital. Hall accused the Mayor of previously downplaying the scale of the problem in London and questioned why victims were still waiting for a dedicated inquiry into group-based child sexual exploitation. Khan rejected the criticism, arguing that he had reflected advice from senior police leaders and highlighting ongoing Metropolitan Police efforts to investigate child sexual exploitation cases. The Mayor pointed to reforms implemented during his tenure, including officer retraining, increased support for victims and a child-focused policing approach. The clash comes as London becomes one of the first areas selected for a specialised local investigation under a wider national inquiry into group-based child sexual exploitation. Authorities are also reviewing thousands of historical and active cases as part of efforts to address past failures and improve accountability. #SadiqKhan #SusanHall #LondonAssembly #GroomingGangs #LondonPolitics Subscribe to The Financial Express: https://bit.ly/2TN006o Welcome to The Financial Express, your trusted source for world affairs, geopolitics, business news, global economy updates, and market insights.
