Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper is expected to give a statement to the House of Commons following a report by Baroness Casey into the abuse carried out by grooming gangs in England and Wales.
The Prime Minister announced, on Saturday, a full national statutory inquiry into grooming gangs.
Commenting, Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, Darren Millar MS said:
“While this inquiry is welcome, it is long overdue.
“Every month of delay in getting to this position has caused even more hurt to those brave victims who have spoken out about their harrowing experiences and campaigned for justice.
“When I raised the need for an inquiry in the Senedd back in January, other politicians tried to shut me down, but it made me all the more determined to fight for the vulnerable victims of these crimes.
“Wales must not be an afterthought in this inquiry, it is essential that it looks into detail at the extent to which grooming gangs have been operating in Wales, listens to victims, and that perpetrators are brought to justice.
“The Welsh Government, local authorities, the police and other stakeholders must cooperate fully with the inquiry and no stone should be left unturned in seeking the truth.”
