Survivors of grooming gangs said a previous inquiry did not go far enough but there are tensions over new one
A national inquiry into grooming gangs was announced by Keir Starmer in June but it is yet to get under way.
So far, a suitable judge has not been identified, one of two named candidates to become its chair has said she will not stand and three survivors have stepped down from the panel overseeing the recruitment.
It followed disclosures over many years that thousands of girls and women across UK towns and cities were groomed and raped by street-based groups.
In a majority of these gangs, there appeared to be a pattern of men, often of Asian and Pakistani origin, grooming vulnerable girls.
